Unionism is going to make a BIG comeback.

Union leaders will have to remember that they are there for the worker’s benefit. That does not include making demands that force a company into bankruptcy or making them have to go overseas to stay in business.

And remember that it is the “public sector” unions that are the ones affected. You know the ones that are total takers from the tax base. Salary, benefits, pensions. Every single dime to a person in the public sector union is funded by tax dollars.
When the takers out number the producers (government does not produce anything to make a profit from so…) and have higher salaries and better benefits the system will collapse. Walker has stopped that from happening.

You will all loose a lot of weight now, working two jobs, no overtime, no vacations, no safety standards, less money for food, walk to work because you can’t afford gas.

Bennett should have drawn a panel showing the lazy donkey’s staying home instead of going to the polls in droves and voting against Walker, had democrats actually showed up and voted against Walker, then the Democrats would be pointing out what I pointed out in other threads, and that is this: Votes Trump Money every time.
The Union and Democrats asked for the Recall, and they failed to get the message to Democrats how important it was for them to go to the polls and vote against Walker

Unions don’t force companies into bankruptcy. Usually it’s poor management decisions, coupled with bad business plans and a lack of response to markets.

I have to agree, if reluctantly.

? the guy was elected, the guy defended his election, stood by on what he said he was going to do and did it. Yet this Loony lefty says people are in some sort of captivity?
Hey I know we need to capture more money by taxes those that make more.. yeh yeh that will do it right California.. That is how you keep your citizens captive right? tax them more. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/03/13/exodus-california-tax-revenue-plunges-by-22
I wonder if that was what walker was doing if the loony left would have cheered him on. just tax them more. Nope to them making the state more accountable to the money it spends is trying to hold someone at gun point.

Darn that pesky Teachers’ Union.

We need fewer union teachers and more union students.

You are correct about the management, business plan, and lack of response. I’ll add inability to compete with foreign manufacturers and service providers.
I’ve been to many auctions to buy equipment from bankrupt companies and many of those were union caused bankruptcies. Also, a friend of mine in the mortgage business was often involved in trying to find investors in bankrupt companies, some bankrupted by union demands.
It does no good for a union to demand more than is available from a company and it is the height of folly for a company to agree to demands that it cannot meet. These situations too often happens and leads to unhappy consequences for both parties.
A union should help the company of the workers that it represents so that the company prospers. The workers should then be rewarded by the company for their contribution to the company’s prosperity. Of course, with the belligerence usually displayed by both parties, this ideal is seldom seen. The company wants to hold on to everything and the union wants to “show them”. Such is life.

How is ‘unionism’ going to make a big comeback? People are going to willingly give money to an organization that brought an expensive recall to Wisconsin? More like unions are on the way out.
