Oh, wow.
That went after the cops, too.
That was really fucking stupid of them, you reward your foot soldiers just well enough to make them trust the system enough to defend it with their lives against their own class.
You let the cop “union” thrive and they’ll kick every teacher to death on their overtime pay with gusto.
Probably don’t have to pay them, they’ll do it for free.
What they want is not pay, but the ability of harassing minorities.
I feel like people forgot that this was the compromise.
If they’d like us to go back to dragging the boss out of his home in the middle of the night and beating him to death in front of his family I’m cool with that.
get luigi a 1up
I keep thinking of the scene in Far and Away where they torch the manor house.
Time for these cretins to get a history lesson first hand on why there are labor laws in this country. Why there is a forty hour work week. Why there is collective bargaining. Why its keeping them(the management) alive.
There isn’t management for these jobs though. The people are the management. Both sides of the table are the same in the public sector.
That’s now how this works. Time to beat the Governor to death.
General strike from teachers, firefighters and police it is, then.
Don’t count on cops for solidarity, even with something this blatant.
The ruling class forgets how the unions were the compromise to allow them to keep their heads attached to their bodies
He included police unions? He’s fucked. Republican voters don’t give a crap about teachers or firefighters, but he messed with the cops that they vehemently pretend to support.
They originally tried to exempt police unions but were told that would be too blatantly illegal and the whole thing would be struck down, so they did this instead.
Whoa, is that speculation or in the article somewhere?
Here’s the original text of the bill, you can see the original text stricken out:

This was from the bill they introduced last year to do the same thing.
God damn! This is insane 😮💨
Banning police unions is a no brainer.
Banning police unions is a no brainer.
they’re downright fucking evil, a hideous example of what a union should be doing. they protect the worst of the worst and keep the city and force paying for their bullshit. and they show no solidarity to other unions.
They are actually a classic example of what unions do.
^ name checks out
lolol sure thing bud
It’s spelled “lol”
Easy block, nothing of value to be had from this dude trying to spell check “lolol”
Fucking strike anyway. What are they gonna do?
The postal service is unable to legally strike. They struck in the 70s (?) illegally and got tons of concessions and no one went to prison for it. Seems like teachers could do something similar. We wouldn’t miss cops and, unfortunately, firefighters also wouldn’t be missed (we still love them, unlike cops).
I’m super pro union but your arguments are sloppy.
In 1981 Reagan fired and banned for life over 11,000 striking Air Traffic controllers. People sadly haven’t forgotten.
Without cops, what does a person assaulted or burgled do? How are the 20K+ murders a year investigated? Firefighters? They respond primarily to medical emergency. And about a million fire incidents a year.
Cops rarely, if ever stop, or investigate crimes. Cops have single digit clearance rates for homicides.
