School district workers in Wisconsin reject 70 of 408 union recertifications. Turns out an awful lot of educators don’t think union dues buy them anything worthwhile.

    • Yeah, can you imagine how much money the unions just lost? 70 unions times $2,000 in annual dues from each member - that's a crapload of dough. And when other union members who didn't decertify realize the non-dues-paying people are doing just fine without a union, it could get worse next year.

  • If I didn't know better, it sounds as if Quagmire said "If you like your union, you can keep it"

  • Get rid of the coercion & leftism collapses. Seriously, if you made Social Security, public education, & Obamacare voluntary, & made them compete in the marketplace of ideas, they would either become better because they have to or would go away.

  • Hey, is that our oodballz over there?

    /That's funny, after all this time I just noticed how you spell that, with two Os.

    • Yup, twas li'l ol' me over there. I tried using ooddball as a name in honor of the character in "Kelly's heroes" but the name was always taken, hence to 2 o's and the z.

      • Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

        so that's where you got that. :D

        kinda on the subj. apparently there is no gold left in Ft. Knox. crowley may've been on to SOMEthing. (note the singular use.)

    • Yeah, it's important to realize that even where the unions were not decertified, the vote was not overwhelmingly in favor of the unions. This is a nightmare for the unions no matter how they look at it.

      • I reckon Joseph P. Caminiti is p'd the eff off. watch out for the heads of Elsie, Ferdinand, and Beauregard's heads in beds.
