Who's Afraid of Big Labor?greenspun.com : LUSENET : I-695 Thirty Dollar License Tab Initiative : One Thread |
We've all heard and seen the hit pieces from the socialists who run the various unions (most of them grease the palms do-nothing public employees like DB.) We've seen it all before, with Initiatives 200, 676, 677, 685, and 593. Additionally, they sunk a minimum of $35 million of their member's money to unseat the GOP Congress. And guess what?-- 200 passed.
-- 676 failed.
-- So did 677.
-- Ditto to 685.
-- I-593 (Three Strikes, You're Out) is the law of the land.
-- The GOP still controls both houses of Congress.
-- And 695 becomes the law of the land in 48 hours despite a "no" campaign that would make Josef Goebbels blush.
Looks like Big Labor is about to become 0 for 7, coincident with their declining representation of workers in the real world (read: outside the government sector.)
Just an observation.
