Unions Having a Hard Time Dealing With Reality

rotten apples

Is it really any wonder why the unions are not feeling the love from private workers? The AP is reporting that Ohio's union bill is zipping right on through the state house much to the chagrin of police, bureaucrats, teachers and firefighters. Thankfully the measure is actually much more restricting than Wisconsin's. The unions just do not want to reengage with reality. From the AP:
Unionized workers in Ohio could negotiate wages, hours and certain work conditions — but not health care, sick time or pension benefits. The measure would do away with automatic pay raises, and base future wage increases on merit.

Um, guys. Seriously. Welcome to the reality of all those good taxpaying people that pay YOUR salary. Is it really about money? Or is it because you are pawns in a bigger effort to destroy capitalism and replace it with Socialism. Can you just not understand that you have killed the golden goose?
Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican like his Wisconsin counterpart, Scott Walker, praised the development. Both have pushed the collective bargaining bills as part of budget-balancing measures.

"This is a major step forward in correcting the imbalance between taxpayers and the government unions that work for them," Kasich said.

Unions whine about inequality but they are paid more in wages and benefits than the very taxpayers that make those payments. They yell about the greedy bankers and capitalist corporations yet they seem equally as ambitious about getting what is mine.
