  • YS I WANT TO GIVE FINANCIAL SUPPORT BY HAVING THEM PAY BACK ALL THE TAX PAYERS . AND A CANDLE LIGHT VIGIL HAAAAAAAAAA WHAT A CROC OF CRAP HOLD A VIGIL FOR A BUNCH OF OVERPAID , PUBLIC UNION WORKERS ..

  • The fact that people are against unions only illustrates their ignorance of the true history of unions in this country. Avoid punditry as gospel.

  • jill it has zero effect on me ...my mom was a teacher and she told me all the horror stories from these union goons taking $$$$$ from her for democratic causes . she is not a democrat . why should she give $$$$ to a party she cant stand . also dont give the police n fire they are excempt from this .

  • Union's use to have a place, but now the only place for union's is in the trash!

    Jill and Kris are probably union hags! No one in their right might would support such a corrupt force. Union's have gotten greedy and wayyyyy too powerful and in turn have practically destroyed manufacturing and public education in this country!

    So no jill we are not idiots, and most likely, just a guess, you are probably one of those public school teachers who is paid way to much for so little!

  • Use your brain much, Michelle...or do ALL your thoughts germinate at FOX News?! It's the corporations stupid, NOT the unions! The only reason this country is even bearable at this point is because of all the hard work of unions over the past 150 years - check out a history book eh
