legislator who voted against unions"
Lets put aside for now that government workers shouldn't be unionized at all
since there is no profit motive, not working conditions issues from the
past, no cap on compensation, that unions negotiate with themselves being
that they sit on both sides of the 'bargaining' table and that the ultimate
boss - the taxpayers - are completely locked out of the process. But there
is an even darker side when the unions represent public safety, and that is
that political favoritism puts your safety at risk. In essence, your safety
may well depend upon your political viewpoint, a dangerous precedent if
there ever was one since public safety employees are supposed to protect the
public regardless of politics. From The Other McCain via Instapundit:
Lawyer for Ohio police threatens state legislator who voted against unions
Ohio’s state Senate yesterday passed S.B. 5, which would limit the
power of government employee unions. Among those voting for the measure was
state Sen. Frank LaRose, a 31-year-old freshman Republican from Akron. After
the passage of S.B. 5, LaRose’s Facebook page filled up with comments,
including one from Michael Sarge Piotrowski who — as Melissa Clouthier
explains at Red State — is a lawyer representing the Ohio Fraternal Order
of Police.
“Funny thing about cops, they hold grudges,” Piotroski wrote on LaRose
’s page.
Now what the heck do you think that's supposed to mean? If Sen LaRose has an
emergency at his home, will the responding police officer lay off the gas a
bit? A little slower to respond? It's a dangerous precedent where those
that won't kowtow to union demands are blacklisted. And how is this
different than extortion exactly? |
