What happens AFTER Governor Weasel gets his union busting legislation passed?

[cali]

That's what I want to know. Where do we go from there? Because odds are extremely strong that he will get it passed.

1. Keep demonstrating, like the Egyptians.

[Brickbat]

2. Then the very hard work begins, and I hope people are thinking about what they are willing to do.

[PeaceNikki]

3. Yeah, this remains to be seen. I don't see the wave crashing anytime soon.

Protesters are empowered by the events in Egypt so this was poorly timed by the GOP.

[RagAss]

4. Egypt Baby !!!!!!

5. I think more and more Americans feel they are being pushed over the edge. Hopefully

Americans will wake the F up that everything they take for granted is going down the drain as they sleep, have their heads in the sand or up their butt.

I'm annoyed the wall street and the banksters go scott free after having financially destroyed the nation.

Anymore every moment is a WTF.

6. Why don't these things go to referendum where people can choose to raise taxes

To support these benefits?

[Brickbat]

8. Why should taxpayers have to pay for those benefits twice?

[TBF]

11. Do you want the whole fucking government on referendum?

Because if we're doing that I want line by line on ALL defense expenditures. Up or down, every fucking thing.

[dkf]

16. Maybe we should.

I would like to pick where my funds go too. I'd pick medical research.

[HereSince1628]

7. Well, the R's move on and completely PISS OFF ANOTHER STATE

Somehow I see this as ultimately working out to the best interests of workers.

[mmonk]

9. Good question.

There will be more assaults on labor rights coming across the country.

10. I confess

while off sick today, I did check into Limpballs' radio show, while driving back and forth to the drugstore. Not only is he hitting this story hard, trying to give his dittoheads their talking points, he mentioned one other thing about this legislation.

According to what he said (I have zero idea how true it was), this legislation allows people to opt out of joining a union, in a union job. If it passes, I expect that any teachers striking will be replaced this summer by those willing to move to Wisconsin, and take the jobs of the union teachers.

That's how Reagan broke PATCO, and that's probably what Walker wants to do. Can anybody confirm this?

[upi402]

13. It's classic. Then we just organize and

Demand a vote with the NLRB

[customerserviceguy]

14. Are state governments subject to the NLRB?

It's possible that they're not.

[Evasporque]

12. The shit will really hit the fan

General shutdown of all government services....Scotty will get his martial law as the National Guard takes over....

The bill goes forward....Wisconsin goes backward...

[Nikia]

15. The people of WI will never forgive him or the Republicans

They will realize that Republicans took things too far and cannot be trusted to look out for their well being.
