oldtanker,
Yes, that is sound reasoning. If a worker doesn't want to join a union, or pay dues if he/she isn't a union member that's fine. But here is the problem. If said person doesn't want to join a union, or pay dues, he/she shouldn't expect to get any of the raises or benefits the unions negotiates for. Since act 10 has been put into place no one in the public work force is getting anything. They have gotten a few token bonus checks, but nothing towards their base pay. The work rules that were also negotiated for are being gutted. These are simple rules pertaining to overtime pay, who has to work over time, how vacation time is to be scheduled, even some of the safety rules are being ignored.
I'm really glad I'm retired, but worry about the workers who are still there. Some of you say that if they don't like it there they should move on to another job. What job? There's really nothing to choose from in this area of the state. Plus people find it hard to tear up roots in search of a better job that may not be out there. The other option would be to go on to school. But with the cuts that are going to be made to the university system, an education will be too expensive to obtain. Students that do get an education they leave the state, because there just isn't any jobs for them here. It's all part of the brain drain that has gone on here for so long. That's a separate discussion, so I won't go any further on that subject.
I don't know what the answer to our problems will be. But I do know that the course that the governor is putting us on won't make any improvements to the states economy. If anything it will only make things worse.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
