Collective Bargaining Rights for Public Sector Unions?

Like with Robert of VT, you insult. I see myself as a exorcist. Casting out your demons you have brought to this discussion, being insults as major counterpoint. You are a low grade demon, your power of insult are rudimentary. Perhaps you are a high school teacher, who keeps her job through union tenure protection. You must be apprehensive of new Walker law now flourishing in WI will bloom into MI. I may be able to alleviate your discontent, expect time will be far off for MI, a even stronger union State.

You wrote “And Your Point Is?”. I made his point. Proven by your irritation , need to insult him & me.

Further , outlandish accusation of my “anger problem”. Your conclusion of not “therefore, get an get an "A+" ” is illogical. Taken to the board, My less than stellar grade would be overturned for lack of being reasonable & responsible by you for your pay grade.

The quote of FDR you used, in form was correct. Problem arises with your conclusions. You took out of context the entire meaning. That I proved. A common mistake for a novice.

You still try to give credence to your original reasoning, but FDR wrote ““All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service”. FDR further adds “The very nature and purposes of Government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee organizations. The employer is the whole people, who speak by means of laws enacted by their representatives in Congress. Accordingly, administrative officials and employees alike are governed and guided, and in many instances restricted, by laws which establish policies, procedures, or rules in personnel matters.”

You disagreed with Robert of VT whose remarks hold the sentiments of FDR’s letter to union leader. You attempted to impugn his judgment was incorrect. You try to malign me for pointing that out. Your “strike quote was a major sticking point of FDR belief (which WI unions broke), along with other restrictions on collective bargaining within your original stipulations you ignored. Not collective bargaining as usual concerning what you pointed out original (“collectively bargain over their wages, their benefits and/or their working conditions”). FDR gave restrictions.

To you in your remarks & public union inappropriate activity in WI, I give this quote:

“Little men with little minds and little imaginations go through life in little ruts, smugly resisting all changes which would jar their little worlds”
