Darling (WI-Walker poodle): teachers should be thanking Republicans for weakening public empl

[iwishiwas]

Lies go over well when people do not THINK and listen to RW talk shows such as Living to the Vicki McKenna talk radio show (a Rush wanna be).

I have lots of family in Corrections. They will be talking home about 4 thousand less a year to contribute to the health care insurance--a concession the unions agreed to before Walker whacked them with the---"I have nothing to negotiate" talk from Walker and his Repug poodles. Then he took away their rights to negotiate work conditions and salary.

Alberta Darling: teachers should be thanking Republicans for weakening public employee unions!

During an appearance on Vicki “wolf on back, snake on chest” McKenna’s radio show on June 6, 2011, Republican State Senator Alberta Darling explained why Wisconsin’s teachers should be supporting Republicans for all Republicans have done to weaken public employee unions. Sen. Darling explained that teachers should be more accepting of the provisions of the so-called “budget repair” bill which would end most collective bargaining rights for public employees, as well as steep increases in health insurance and pension payments by public employees, because those same provisions will save teachers $800-$1,000 per year.

Conveniently, Darling neglected to mention that the very same provisions that will “save” teachers $800-$1,000 per year will actually cost teachers (and other public employees) several thousand dollars per year more than any savings they’d realize from not paying union dues, if they chose not to remain a member of their union.

And here’s a transcript of Sen. Darling’s comments:
................................

So let’s just recap Sen. Darling’s really fuzzy math:
$800 to $1,000 in yearly savings for public employees as a result of the anti-public employee “budget repair” bill
- $3,000 to $5,000 in yearly costs for public employees due to increased pension and health care payments

1. Now I get it....the purpose of this bill is to make it so that teachers

cannot afford union dues, even though they want to be union members. How could I have missed that.
