Governor Walker sends out layoff notices to union bosses; tells Fleabagger Democrats they have 15 days to show up for work

It would appear that the Wisconsin stalemate is nearing an end -- as the laws of economics dictate it must.

Gov. Scott Walker notified unions Friday of impending layoffs if a budget-repair bill isn't passed in the next 15 days...

According to GOP sources... the discussions with Democratic senators holed up in Illinois include ... removing or changing a provision that would require workers to vote every year on whether their union would remain active or be decertified ... The last provision especially is anathema to Democrats and unions, who say it could kill many labor groups.

...The budget-repair bill would require most public workers to pay more for their health care and pensions, eliminate most collective bargaining by their unions, and give the governor broad powers to reshape the state's health care programs for the poor and elderly... Unions have agreed to the concessions on their benefits, but the provisions taking away most collective bargaining have prompted sustained protests for over two weeks.

Personally, I wouldn't have given them 15 days. More like 15 hours.

Perhaps something like laying off 100 workers for every hour Democrats refuse to show up and work.

After all, as the Democrats told us repeatedly from 2006 to 2010, "elections have consequences." Apparently that applies to only one party.

Stand strong, Governor Walker: the vast majority of Americans are behind you 120%.

  2. I agree....15 days is way too long.
