Scott Walker is attempting to curtail Public Employee Unions, ain't he?
A big difference from regular unions. They do not act in the common mans best interest, but rather their own and their members at the publics expense.
Most people working Labor jobs are not Union.
The gains you cited by Unions are true, but happened decades ago.
Brings to mind that song - was it Janet Jackson?
"What have you done for me lately?"
'White Male Christain Labor Day' ???
WTF?? Talk about condescending. Geez.

oh shut up, frankieb. Working for the state is public service -- who do you think runs your schools and universities, your fire stations, your police, etc. etc. It's work for your community. Unionized public employees get paid less than public sector counterparts and put up with the same bullshit from management and administration as anyone else.

On behalf of all unionized public employees, go fuck yourself on this Labor day and all others henceforth.

So you are paid less? That is up for debate, depending on what you read.
What isn't debateable is better job security than the private sector, better health benefits than the private sector, and better retirement bennies than the public sector.
And who pays for all that?
In large part, the private sector. All those mostly non-union workers who don't influence the political process with wads of cash to get elected officials to bend their way.

Oh, right back at ya pal.

I'll have some of what Frankie's smoking.
