WEAC Extortion Letter To Fox Valley Business Community

 The Fox Valley Chapter of Wisconsin Education Association Council made their extortion attempt in a letter to about 1,400 members of the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce & Industry.  The letter didn't really have the desired response they were hoping for.  The article has comments from one business man that would mirror mine - "WEAC leads me to believe if I don't sign their pledge to support collective bargaining they would take action to prevent teachers from supporting my business, and that seems unfortunate,"
The government unions seem to not understand that the more they keep themselves in the news - the more the public is getting to see just what they really are. 

Unions Give M&I Ultimatum

Is it not lovely that the the first signature on the extortion letter to M&I is James L. Palmer, Executive Director Wisconsin Professional Police Association - the lobbyist for the police. 

As if their actions during the protests didn't show to whom their allegiance lies - this letter makes it official.

Walker's Donors Being Boycotted

In the latest attempt to hurt Madison businesses (because we know that their view point is the only view point) - union whinners continue their mob mentality and go after M&I bank.  M&I received TARP money and donated money to Walker's campaign so 2 union workers walked into the bank and withdrew $192,000 dollars on the spot.  They say they will hit the GOP where it hurts - in the pocket book.
Union workers, the little people, the right and just - how may of you out there can walk into the bank right now and withdraw $81,000 (making an assumption that each union person pulled half the above total)?  It would appear that they are making way more than the people paying them.

Ever Wonder About Madison Teachers Retirement Package?

I wondered just exactly what they have collectively bargained for over the years and without further ado here it is.
I personally found pages 4 & 7 the most interesting.

Racine Teacher's Union Reaches Tentative Contract Agreement

In a race to get a contract done before the budget repair bill goes through - the Racine teacher's union has reached a tentative agreement to a pay freeze, paying half their pension contributions and picking up the some of the tab for their health benefits.  This would be a savings of  $18 million of the $25 million projected budget.  72% of the Racine school budget goes to the teachers?  But wait!   I have been told that it is all about the kids.  This has me thinking it might be about the teachers and their union after all.
Oh yeah - in 2 years when this contract is up they will collectively bargain to make that up with interest!

Erpenbach's Paycheck Is In The Mail

Senator Erpenbach gave the power of attorney to his staff members so that they could pick up his paycheck for him.  I trust that these staff members immediately ran over to the local union office to pay his dues.

Private Citizen Sues Democratic Senator

Kevin Barthel has had enough of the games the Senate Democrats have been playing and he has filed suit against Jim Holperin.  If a writ were issued and Senator Holperin didn’t comply, he’d be guilty of a class H felony pursuant to WisState 783,07.
On behalf of the countless people that feel the same as you do - Thank you.
