Anti-Union??
Unions unhappy with AFL-CIO Organizing needs more emphasis, new coalition says
Pulaski said the governor's anti-union initiatives include a measure that would make teachers wait five years rather than two years to achieve tenure.
Another would force unions to obtain members' consent before using their dues for political purposes.
A third would authorize a panel of retired judges to redraw state legislative boundary lines.
The first isn't directed at unions at all but teachers and making it harder to get tenure where they can't be fired.
I could buy the second, but that doesn't attack the power of the union, that enables the member to have MORE of a say in the union... why is democracy bad.
The third is the most ludicrous of them all. What in the world does legislative boundary lines have to do with unions at all?
Sloppy writing? Maybe. A B&W session because they have nothing better to say? Probably.
