By: chieftain (Diary) | March 25th at 10:01 PM |
Here is an excellent Wisconsin political music video that was promoted by WTMJ’s Charlie Sykes. Note the “fist” symbolism: Teachers’ unions and union supported Wisconsin school boards are rushing to enter new contracts before the new law comes into effect.

Some teachers are concerned about union willingness to trade layoffs for keeping such union “rights” as (1) having the government collect $700 to $1,000 in yearly dues | Read More »

NFL football players are members of a private sector union, the NFL Players Association, but what if they belonged to a government employee union in symbiosis with the Democrat Party? Imagine if the 2011 Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football players were members of a public union similar to WEAC the Green Bay, Wisconsin public teachers union. It’s not so far fetched, after all, | Read More »
