Walker eliminated all unions in WI except police and fire (big backers). We just had our first death of a youth correctional officer by an inmate after years of officers complaints to R oversight committee went unheard. Politicians will NOT have their backs.
Very. Police unions have been the shield for police misconduct up to and including murder. At very least it needs reformation. But if police unions get swept up in the crusade against public unions, I’m not gonna shed any tears over it.
Some cop unions have had protections from drug testing after shootings. My job was deemed safety sensitive by the 1995 Congressional Accountability Act. Legislators hid behind the 4th Amendment. Not the rest of us in public service. No 4th for us. Like politicians & cops aren’t?
So, yea, Cool.
ending public sector unions will only serve to disenfranchise and silence the voices of dedicated public servants, ultimately harming the community they serve.
Apparently, Utah is number 2 in states with largest teacher shortages, surpassed in percentage by only Nevada. Making already low paying professional jobs even less attractive seems like pretty dumb public policy.🤷♂️
Wisconsin 2.0. (2011) Wisconsin pushed for forced arbitration in the 50’s. Showed members the 100 year history of the ATU, and they still didn’t get it. Took 2 decades to toss the leadership that gave up my locals right to strike, Portland. Old hats are gone. New members don’t get it.

They tried this in Ohio about 15 years ago. Republicans tried to take away public employees' collective bargaining rights. Was repealed by a state referendum.
Took a page from Wisconsin. This has been the long game of the GOP, originating 15 years ago. AND, like Wisconsin, dismantling unions likely won’t make most affected voted blue.
Wow. This is huge!
Separate and divide. Then do whatever you want because there is no strength individually compared to collectively. Every union in Utah needs to flood their senators with calls and emails and letters. Then take a union organization day. At the same time. Something needs done
