The Wisconsin state Senate passed
legislation Wednesday, February 25th that would make Wisconsin the
25th right-to-work state. Predictably, union workers chanted “Shame!
Shame!” as the Senators left the chamber after the vote.
The
bill would make it a crime to require private-sector
workers who aren’t in a union to pay
union dues. Well, duh. It is simple theft. Taking money from somebody against
their will (let alone in this case when
those paying don’t receive any benefits and aren’t even a member of the organization that
requires the dues) is simply theft. There are no two ways about it.
Opponents
of the bill outnumbered supporters at the Capitol by a 70-1 ratio. There’s a
shock! Those supporting the right-to-work bill were…at work?! Too polite? Scott
Walker won election- twice- by facing down the rapacious unions back in
2011-2012, so we know there is at least a simple majority of voters in
Wisconsin that support this measure. 70-1 is a mob, a “thugocracy,” not an indicator
of the public’s support. And these opponents of the legislation act
accordingly. Two spectators yelled out “This is not about democracy. You work
for the people of the state!” Say what? Well, they certainly don’t want this to be a democratic
process, as that process passed this bill. And they would love it if the Senators
and the Governor worked for “the state,” as in those who work in government.
Senate
majority leader Scott Fitzgerald said the measure would provide “true workplace
freedom.” He also stated that the bill was about giving workers the freedom to decide whether to pay union dues and would be good for the
economy. Who’s not pro-choice? In actuality it’s amazing what liberals want
people to have freedom of choice on and what they don’t. There decision on
whether choice is good or not on any particular issue is made based solely on
what makes things easier for them and theirs. They aren’t concerned with access
to choice for others such as conservatives, WASPS, babies, constitutionalists,
traditionalists, Christians, et. al.
Many in
the crowd outside protesting held up signs saying “Stop the War on Workers.”
Why is it that anyone, or group, that disagrees with any of the left’s beliefs
is immediately branded as conducting “a War on…?” The “War on Women,” the “War
on Workers,” etc., etc.
Conservatives
rarely if ever say the left is conducting a “War on Guns,” a “War on the
Constitution,” a “War on Babies,” a “War on White People,” a “War on the Founders,”
or such like.
Are unions conducting a “War
on Logic and Reason?”
You
decide.
