Supreme Court deals major blow to public sector unions

The Supreme Court dealt a major blow to public sector unions on Wednesday in a case that could shake their financial structure and undermine their future stability.

The justices struck down an Illinois law that required non-union workers to pay fees that go to collective bargaining.

It’s anti labor going on the assumption the union is actually pro-labor (a debatable premise in Florida)

But assuming your pro labor and the union does was its supposed to you want it mandatory that every worker is in the union. Apparently that’s not the law in Illinois but they do force members of the public sector to contribute a fund that negotiates their contracts.

In Florida only around half the teachers join the union and pay dues. The other half are f uck head scab pieces of ****. But the union negotiates the contract. Some people correctly feel like it’s bull**** that every teacher gets to work under the negotiated contract. Since they don’t pay dues some people think they should just negotiate their own contract case by case.

That ruling in Illinois weakens the union’s power to negotiate good contracts for its public sector unions by lessening their funds.


But, the workers in Illinois and everywhere shouldn’t rely on the law. If you refuse to join the union the unionized workers should stomp a mud hole in your ass.

Uh, she’s gorgeous. It would take her about 3 seconds to make you a slave for life. A smile from those teeth you’re making fun of, in real life, she’d have your ass so pussy whipped - don’t give us that **** -

on Yang and UBI he doesn’t have a perfect agenda

I just like people putting the word out

You couldn’t just eliminate our current safety net because UBI

elph you make a good point about gambling addiction

I support UBI on top of everything else

I mean I right now wish I knew $1000 was coming in on Friday

Also long term dreaming I hope someday money is eradicated completely and UBI seems like a step in that direction

Not just $1000 but enough to live

Once UBI got started it would STAY

It's not so much a fat joke (I don't think I use them that often but hey...) as a comment on the fact that he can look at a picture of what is on the face of it a pretty beautiful woman and still find some flaw. As if he wouldn't jump at the chance if she asked him. It's just a little odd how he does that, as if maybe he's overcompensating for the fact that he never is going to have a woman like that, maybe?

tl;dr version? I really didn't understand that. I'm not good with union law. I just wanted to know if, in your opinion, this would be a "**** yeah!" or a "**** you bastards screwing the workers" kind of thing?

We can drop Yang

But it’s only 300 Billion dollar addition to our budget

Take it entirely from the military

Plus if we switched to a single payer universal socialized health care system that would save us what? Another 200-300 billion.

If we raised the minimum wage to $15 an hour then the government wouldn’t have to pay out as much in food stamps (which is essentially a corporate subsidy because they couldn’t survive with a starving workforce)

We live in different San Diego's dude. Sounds like you're describing LA/Hollywood. Been there, done that. SD is a few dozen times cooler. Plus, the weather.

Did I mention the weather?

Frownland 06-27-2018 03:33 PM

I'm describing SD as a county but it does indeed vary a lot by which region you're in. My LA description would be a lot worse tbh. They're convincingly fake nice up there.

SD has good stuff but mucho mucho mucho bad as well. I'm sure Exo has heard the sales pitch in the past so I didn't touch on the good.

When I lived in Monterey, the military base was literally a few blocks away. It was annoying since they absolutely had to do strenuous workouts at 4am every morning.

What I hate is that you'd think that in a military town, the normalization of being in the military as a career would make people slob on their knobs less, but the fetishism of the military is 100x worse here than it has been anywhere else that I've lived.

Kennedy retires. Trump can re-shape the Supreme Court for decades to come, which he'll do to appease his rabid stupid mongrel base. Fortunately, me, Linda, Mike, and Sherri are past this ****ing us up too much. I truly feel sorry for you younger folks.

Don't come back at me. This is what the mongrel's wanted. This is what they got. And, as usual, it's going to hurt the worst off much worse than the financially privileged.

Step 3: wait at the hotel until they leave to go look at a sea of dumb hats
Step 4: go to a microbrewery or for a dope hike

Holy snap. That ****ing theme song has been stuck in my head off and on for months and I've been watching some old episodes so this is a hell of a nice surprise. I wonder just how much of it is coming back? Are Pinky and the Brain coming back or will Yakko, Wakko, and Dot be the only returning characters?
