Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of people.

What happened to the firefighter and police unions?
If they just stripped the language from the original bill and passed it... probably nothing.
Oh, so it was just a political gambit and not really about saving any money at all.
OK.
I really don't care... I just think it is funny to see unions lose after throwing such a double rainbow hissy fit for three weeks.
This thread should have been led Middle Class and then the Ha-Ha pic.
The unions you don't like for political reasons.
OK.
I don't know, did they collectively bargain away jobs of the Firefighter or Peace Officer of the Year?
Maybe the Teacher's union needed busting.
How Collective Bargaining Forced Milwaukee to Fire a Teacher of the Year
But, in a more direct response to your question; I suspect all public employee unions are on the wane. Police and Firefighter Unions, as well. It's just a matter of time.
Are all the middle class public school teachers in Wisconsin?
So why leave them alone during this time of terrible terrible terrible crisis?
No because Wisconsin public school teachers are upper class snobs that don't work at all.
So, they can still collectively bargain for their salary, but not for how much they pay toward their pensions and their health care benefits (both still substantially less than what private sector employees pay).
Poor public union workers.

Why is that?
I don't know. Why?
That's what I want to know.
So you don't know? Ok.
You keep bringing it up, like it's an important point, but you never elaborate.
I didn't say I did.
Ok.
Seems pretty stupid to demonize one public union while leaving others untouched.
Why treat them differently?
What's the matter, Chumpy? Can't get anyone to run down the rabbit hole with you?
You can't explain it either.
No one can.
I'm not surprised.
The question was rhetorical.
Mine wasn't.
And you still can't explain it.
If arguing it was all about the budget for weeks, the WI wing-nuts decide to cut all the budget items off the bill and score political points by union busting....
This could be good....
