Iowan law enforcement vote Republican, only to be outraged when they learn Republicans want to bust unionsPublic law enforcement in Iowa face serious rollbacks on collective bargaining rights
CHARLIE MAY
Firefighters and police officers in Iowa voted largely for Republicans, only to learn the hard way that the party is generally anti-union.
In an effort to continue dismantling the rights of public workers, Iowa Republicans have attempted to pit unions against each other by proposing a bill that would split public workers into two separate groups. One group includes public safety workers and the other group includes everybody else. Iowan law enforcement officials expressed displeasure by showing up in large numbers at the Statehouse to speak out against the bill.
Iowa Starting Line reported:
Under the proposed bill, certain sheriffs deputies wouldnt be classified as public safety workers, because there are more jailers and clerks in those units. The bill requires that the majority of workers in a bargaining unit must be either police or firefighters.

(14,543 posts)all of this. That was to vote Democratic. IMO, they shouldn't be police detectives. They were too stupid to see the evidence right in front of their faces.
It has been painfully obvious for decades that republicans are ant-union and will stop at nothing to bust them up. Hell they openly run on being anti-union and these people thought that somehow they wouldn't do that once they had enough power to? Fucking idiots. I bet they aren't laughing at librulz any more.

(12,051 posts)a minit, they thought that THEIR union would be OK, but all those lazy peoples' unions would get busted, and that was all right with the cops.
Honestly, what does it take to wise people up? It seems like only ugly personal experience wakes any of these fuckers up, and by then, it's too late for everybody.
