If the OEA employees go on strike, aren't they striking against the members of the OEA (the teachers)?<br /><br />I guess they didn't get as much as they wanted, so now they are automatically withdrawing $50 from each of the members they struck against last fall.<br /><br />By the way, 110 of the 220 OEA employees make over $100,000.<br /><br />The OEA is the biggest scam in the state of Ohio if not America.C.

(<:<br /><br />Bulb aside, it's a fair question. <br /><br />But the answer is clear. They support their corrupt public unions because those unions have bullied and cajoled lawmakers to cut out a gravy train for Ohio public employees -- all at tax payers expense of course.<br /><br />Way back in the last century after getting my doctorate from OSU I took a two-year temp appointment teaching biochemistry at the medical school. Even back then, early 1970's, the retirement plans for Ohio teachers were, by any standard, lucrative.Fargo44https://www.blogger.com/profile/07836292761618023671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-32922976011531319552011-04-08T12:21:39.399-04:002011-04-08T12:21:39.399-04:00I get the conservative woman's objection to ha...I get the conservative woman's objection to having her paycheck siphoned by the unions as any sane person would. So what's wrong with the libturds in the Ohio unions? Do they not see that regardless of how much or how LITTLE they make, the unions will keep on siphoning for their own selfish ends?

California is famous for its "propositions" on the ballot and sure enough a prop was on the ballot to create charter schools. The California teachers association made a special levy on thier members, raised millions and engaged in the worst kind of smear campaign I've seen.<br /><br />Needless to say the proposition lost, the liberals in LA and SanFran insured that.<br /><br />So this is nothing new. But it is encouraging. I am encouraged by the fact that we are achieving a very important goal here: we must exhaust the financial resources of the unions. They cannot fight all these battles on all these fronts. They have a lot of money, but thier supply isn't infinite. The more money they spend on these special elections the less they have with which to buy the government.<br /><br />In addition, the special levy is guaranteed to irk a significant number of members. That's a good thing as "solidarity" is supposed to be a cornerstone of their strength.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
