Scott Walker was right.

Having been previously employed in an auto factory and a union member, I can understand the last in first out rule. I never liked it much myself, considering how many people just shouldn't be employed due to their work records. BUT with so many people and so many bosses, there's bound to be favoritism and nepotism and every other ism out there when it comes time for lay offs. This way there's no question as to why someone got laid off and no law suits, it's just a straight clean cut down the middle and who ever is on the working side keeps their job. There are too many people to choose from sometimes and it's best to just go ahead and make a clean easy cut. And this is coming from someone who had to face being cut a long time ago, and my career life hasn't been the same since. I'm lucky if I find a job paying 1/3 what I used to make and I still have to work just as hard and have little to no benefits to speak of. I hate that I don't have my job at Ford anymore, but at least I know no one was shown favoritism in order for me to be kicked out the door.

All of the non union state workers in ,y state were forced to join the union and pay dues about 6 years ago. It was a windfall for the union, tripling their fat cat bosses salaries. The governor got kickbacks in the form of vast sums of campaign donations.

No, no corruption here......

I'm sure there is corruption...there's always corruption. I don't disagree with you there.

That's no excuse for OUR public servants.
