If a group of public servants under the UCMJ were to pull the sort of rolling stunt currently seen in Wisconsin, with support in various other states, no one would hesitate to call it precisely what it is.
Private sector unions are one thing. Trumka is a genius, getting all of those people to give him money to maintain the Blagojevich hair (whined the bald blogger). But public sector workers are an ass of a different color; they are public servants, not public masters.
If public sector workers are looking for sympathy, they can find it in the dictionary between schist and syphilis, to tidy an old family saying. Take your haircut back to what the tax base can afford, and get back to work. If this suits you not, recall that you voluntarily work for the public, and can voluntarily go find yourself a better job based upon your merit.  These teachers, for example, can take their precious butts out there and start a private school, no?  Let the resulting stellar test scores among the students carry their righteous argument.
May fortune smile upon Scott Walker and his efforts.

    Wisconsin Unions are threatening a general strike, I would imagine the Anarchists are on the way there now.

    Nice to finally see their true colors. Now maybe we can address them in a manner they deserve, instead of joining in the pretence that they have some redeeming quality.

    Who is Richard Trumka?

    Unlike their more moderate predecessors, Trumka and his fellow AFL-CIO bosses see free market capitalism not as essential to worker prosperity but as something to be despised and destroyed. “Union Summer” seeks to spread ideological hatred of capitalism, as well as love for “progressive” government, throughout the union movement. The ultimate aim is not to boost members’ wages, but to radically transform society.

    Shortly after coming to power, Trumka, Sweeney and Chavez-Thompson rescinded a founding AFL-CIO rule that banned Communist Party members and loyalists from leadership positions within the Federation and its unions. The “New Voice” triumvirate welcomed Communist Party delegates to positions of power in the Federation. And the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) declared itself “in complete accord” with the troika’s new AFL-CIO program. “The radical shift in both leadership and policy is a very positive, even historic change,” wrote CPUSA National Chairman Gus Hall in 1996 about the Trumka/Sweeney/Chavez-Thompson takeover.

    If you don’t like your job, or an aspect of it, you go find another one but don’t expect to collect a paycheck while you shirk the duties of your present job. People who ditch work and/or skip town should be fired just like any normal person would be.

    This is a critical battle that none of use can afford Walker to lose. I hope he appeals directly to the people of Wisconsin on this, since they are the shareholders paying the bills for these petulent public employees.
