hahahah +rep.

I agree with most here. They already have excellent compensation packages, and they're asked to take a small cut while millions are out of work. Don't be angry at me for not shedding a tear for these guys.

Republicans trying to screw over the middle class again and all I see on this forum is people cheering them on. Pathetic.

If you really want to see the middle class being screwed over you should come to New Jersey. The Unions here make outragous money compared to their counterparts in the private sector and have lower work performance. The middle class in NJ is being and has been for many years screwed by their high salarais and pensions. Our property taxes are the highest in the nation and have been so for a very long time.

This. Problem in Jersey is everywhere you look there is a state employee. There aren't enough private sector people to make a difference. 50% of the people I went to college with went to be teachers. Now I have to listen to them bitch every two minutes.

How? Unions have sucked the state dry. A.K.A, people have been forceful stealing from their neighbor for too long. These people have families, I get it, but when you look them in the eye and tell them the strain they have on EVERYONE ELSE they don't care. I have no remorse for people willing to live off the theft of others.

qft Our State Goverment is WAY too big. I would say NJ has to go on a diet but I don't think Christie would have much credibility in the diet department. :D
 
Many public sector unions are guaranteed 10% pension increases from year to year regardless of our dire financial environment. They literally own the so-called "arbitrators." They're basically cowardly thieves. On a moral plane, they're just as bad as the banksters. There is very little difference in their behavior. They steal as much as they can get away with little remorse.

Yes... It's called a call of the house... it's normal and allowed for under most parliamentary procedures, including Roberts Rules. It's for when assholes dont want to show up and therefore you can't do any business because you can't obtain a quorum.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quorum#Call_of_the_house_.28compelled_attendance.29

The call of the house procedure may be used if necessary to obtain a quorum in legislatures and other assemblies that have the legal power to compel the attendance of their members. The procedure does not exist in ordinary societies, since voluntary associations have no coercive power. The call of the house "is a motion that unexcused absent members be brought to the meeting under arrest." The call of the house procedure is governed by the rules of the assembly, which may provide that one-third, one-fifth, or some other number less than a majority present may order a call of the house by majority vote. Under Robert's Rules, when a quorum is not present, the motion takes precedence over every motion except that to adjourn. But "if the rule allows the call to be moved while a quorum is actually present (for the purpose of obtaining a greater attendance), the motion at such times should rank only with questions of privilege, should require a majority vote for adoption, and, if rejected, may not be renewed while a quorum is present."[8]

Thisd could get very interesting depending how it develops.
 
Are state employees allowed to go on strike or protest in Wisconsin? I know in Michigan the state employees aren't allowed to skip work to strike. They legally cannot stop working. My teachers seemed to constantly be protesting or on strike or whatever (they wear little stickers on their shirts while at school), so their protests seemed kind of pointless.
