Its time to call a spade a spade. For over a year, the workers at RMS have patiently waited for the union to defuse the differences between the Ousties and the Union. Apparently, they don't feel it is needed. They let henchmen visit this site and attempt to sabotage it with frivolous talk and vulgar racist xenophobic accusations. So today I decided to drop a hint. We Ousties are still here, we have a voice, and will use it. Union members are free to post here, but the sick trolls won't get their message through. You trolls want free speech? Go make your own blog! The rest of you are still free to comment here. I was approached last week by a Union member who is sick and tired of being sick and tired. The Union lost this worker's trust, and they will speak with their wallet. So they asked wery wery quietly "how do I get out of the union?" Well I answered the question and then I smiled to myself as I know there are more coming. I wonder how long it will take the other Ousties to feel the friendliness of this former Union member after they stop listening to the rhetoric? Lets watch, shall we?
On a different sunject, the Union is blasting the Arizona Congress! They have a link on their website that goes to an AFL-CIO website with critique of some new legislation being considered by the State. Here are a couple of their slanted comments posted against new legislation. Behold, the phrase "paycheck deception bill!"
SB1325: UNION DUES; POLITICAL PURPOSES A paycheck deception bill targeting all public and private employers, requiring “each person paying the dues or fees to designate the types of candidates, legislation or issues or a political party to be supported” before any dues may be deducted for “political purposes,” loosely defined. Also requires unions to set a cap on the percentage of dues spent on “political purposes” annually at the time employees give their authorization.
SB1365: PAYCHECK DEDUCTIONS; POLITICAL PURPOSES A paycheck deception bill targeting all public and private employers: requires notification to business and workers of the percentage of dues spent on “political purposes;” requires annual sign-off on dues deductions used for “political purposes” in an effort to create new bureaucratic obstacles for unions; and requires immediate termination of deductions whenever employees choose to resign union membership. Charities and other organizations are exempted from these requirements.
SCR1028: PAYCHECK DEDUCTIONS; POLITICAL PURPOSES; REQUIREMENT A paycheck deception bill targeting all public and private employers, requiring annual sign-off on dues deductions that will be used to pay for any “political purposes.” (Identical to HCR2032, not listed here)
If you like what the State Legislature is doing, let your steward know. Ask him to forward the info to the top. Let them know that you don't like them spending your dues on politics.
