oldtanker,
Yes, that is sound reasoning. If a worker doesn't want to join a union, or pay dues if he/she isn't a union member that's fine. But here is the problem. If said person doesn't want to join a union, or pay dues, he/she shouldn't expect to get any of the raises or benefits the unions negotiates for. Since act 10 has been put into place no one in the public work force is getting anything. They have gotten a few token bonus checks, but nothing towards their base pay. The work rules that were also negotiated for are being gutted. These are simple rules pertaining to overtime pay, who has to work over time, how vacation time is to be scheduled, even some of the safety rules are being ignored.
I'm really glad I'm retired, but worry about the workers who are still there. Some of you say that if they don't like it there they should move on to another job. What job? There's really nothing to choose from in this area of the state. Plus people find it hard to tear up roots in search of a better job that may not be out there. The other option would be to go on to school. But with the cuts that are going to be made to the university system, an education will be too expensive to obtain. Students that do get an education they leave the state, because there just isn't any jobs for them here. It's all part of the brain drain that has gone on here for so long. That's a separate discussion, so I won't go any further on that subject.
I don't know what the answer to our problems will be. But I do know that the course that the governor is putting us on won't make any improvements to the states economy. If anything it will only make things worse.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
