Thoughts on Paycheck Protection?

[Born2bwire]

I don't like what the Government funds with the taxes they take out of my paycheck, what's the difference?

Our government uses that money to protect the American Way while the unions use it for Communism.

Doesn't cost you a single cent of dues...they just don't spend YOUR money on politics...You should still pay the same rate each month as a member who understands that the union is spending those political dollars in your best interest, whether you see it or not.

You have all the choice in the world about being a fair share employee. If you don't like it, you can either be a union member...or not work for the state. Fucking freeloaders who seem to think they're entitled to all the same wages and benefits as union members without paying dues are just a bunch of bloodsucking parasites.

Would you prefer to have to negotiate your own wages and benefits with the state without the help of the union? I'm sure your benefit costs would increase since you'd no longer be part of the large employee pool...but that's ok...and without the union to negotiate your raises...and without the other union members standing strong, willing to strike to get a raise...I'm sure you wouldn't mind having your pay cut just a bit...after all, you'd just be doing your part to help the state in such dire financial times.

I am a fair share employee, fair share employees have their money removed as well for political purposes. I don't mind paying non political parts of the fair share, I gladly pay it. I just don't like money from my dues as a fair share going to a candidate I didn't support

LOL, the dumborats are in power in CA now, the unions will steal as much money as they can get their hands on from your paycheck.

Why do you assume that the people who support the union and the union's choice of candidates would not support the union financially?


CEO pay is set by the company's owners (aka stockholders). Since they are hoping to make money as well, they're going to pay him the same way every other employee is paid - the minimum amount that they think he'll accept and still do a reasonably good job. There is no lack of aspiring CEO's out there, hoping for a chance to show that they can do a better job for less money.

no not really. It is a big circle jerk. Directors determine pay and most directors are ceo from other companies or ex ceo. Then they tally up the ceo pay around town and say we must pay more than company Y if we hope to attract top talent. This drives up ceo pay to the ridiculous situation we have today. I think it is high time ceo pay is linked to average salary in terms of ceiling multiples.

The unions pull the same shit, albeit much lower magnitude.

Never heard of a little something called the Department for Homeland Security? That's that little thing that protects your hippy freedoms to burn American flags. As for Unions, they're Communist by definition. Any true Capitalist would allow the natural market forces to dictate a fair salary.

Of course it should pass, but it's CA so it probably won't.
