Are Unions Above the Constitution?

Friends I found this on Freedom Connect and asked myself why the mainstreet media ignores information like this! This is a group of conserned citizens down in IL. They call themselves,
The Daily Beck Just a small group of americans doin the american thing! hmmm...

Somedays I feel like a reporter myself scouring the bowels of the internet for what I percieve to be the truth! Kudos to this person who I will not  identify because the small town USA neighbors might uummmm...   

If only Wisconsin knew

The truth has no agenda ... I think each patron who's tax dollars pay into the general fund has the right to request a copy of their Public Employee's Contract Agreements and the district's budget ... ask for a budget from a prior year as this way you can see actual income and expenses not projected numbers based on the year before last. If you'd like to see an example of a contract agreement you can visit http://tinyurl.com/4azlqy4  This link will take you to the Sprinfield School District's Contract Agreement, the pay scales and all.

If school boards stand behind their Union agreements then they should be bold enough to post them on their web sites or provide them upon request. AND don't let them tell you there isn't one ... my district told me a copy of our contract didn't exist ... one call to my Union Rep. and go figure, not only did it exist but they were in grievence not providing it to an employee upon request. The Union Rep. provided several copies to the District before the week was out and sent me my very own personal copy directly. :)

I should mention I'm learning as I go ... we just finished our latest negotiations. I was given a questionaire, the ground rules were negotiated ... I refused to vote on which employee would be our voice ...the only one willing to do it was a dishonorable choice ... in my opinion, and I didn't have enough time as a member to volunteer. The bargaining team voted to agree on open negotiations ... which means when the district represenatives and the bargaining team sit across the table from eachother I was allowed to listen but not speak. I was not permitted to sit in or negotiate with the bargaining team after submitting my questionaire for suggested amendments ... my fellow employees on the negotiating team were limited in their speech with me. That one was beyond me ... ... it was debated as to wether we would be permitted to see the amended contract agreement as it was being negotiated ... a work in progress and all I was permitted to do was sit back and watch the show. I was completely in the dark as to strategy and concerns. I lost trust in an old friend as she is a school board member, I was told all communication would cease unitl negotiations were complete. The negotiations lasted several months and I became bitter at the reality between this bureaucracy and bargaining unit in regards to my God given freedoms and how brazen the whole system seemed to carry out it's business. It was then and there I learned how much this American doesn't fit well into the communist/socialist world. I was limited in my speech, I was distrusted and silenced. As a matter of fact I'm sure despite my work ethic, the bargaining unit and the district would both rather have me fired if they knew I was blogging this. My Union Rep. once told me to as I was called into the superintendents office ... "check the Constitution at the door" that's when I learned that the District and Unions find the Contract Agreement to supersede our Nation's Constitution.


Be sure to look in your school districts contract agreement under Separablility of Contract Provisions ... ours says In the event that any provision of this Agreement should, at any time during its effective period, be declared unlawful and unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall apply only to the specific article, section or portion thereof directly specified in the decision. Such decision shall not invalidate the entire Agreement, it being the expressed intention of the parties hereto that all other provisions of this Agreement not be declared unlawful and the Agreement as a whole shall remain in full force and effect ... bla bla bla ... ... the way I see it ... if the Union Contract Agreements are bankrupting our States then wouldn't that be unlawful???? Kinda like Obamacare???? So it's not like Gov. Walker's tossing out their job ... he's just evening the scales so the States financial status lives within it's means.

People need to realize that Public Employee jobs are paid from the working classes income taxes ... Government DOES NOT CREATE JOBS! Americans create jobs! When the government takes income taxes from a citizen who receives income from any form of government (including unemployment, welfare & disablility) they are only putting back a smaller portion of money that came from the same money supply they paid from ... the private sector's income taxes. The taxes I pay as a state employee are like taking money from one pocket and putting it into the other pocket ... then back again. It's like paying a credit card with a credit card ... this doesn't work out well for the State's funding and when the private sector is unemloyeed it works even worse for government employees like me.

Give the Union employees the option to Opt Out! I'll work for the going rate if it means bringing down SEIU, George Soros, and all the other communist socialist marxist that want the workers of the world to unite ... I mean hey all this Union business is working so well at the State and Federal levels why not make it world wide ... lets start with the outsourced jobs, India here we come. YIKES!, get ready, all they need is a UN and an internet connection.

If we could rely on our courts to uphold the law ... not a bunch of case law garbley goop but the laws our represenatives swore to uphold ... we'd be honored by our Nation's laws anyday over contract agreements that mock our Constitution.

The truth has no agenda ... Gov. Walker did not agree to the Contract Agreements ... volunteer's who were voted in by the communities they represent did ... the school boards. Know the truth ... school boards work for you the people, you vote them in and you can vote them out ... they answer to you the people. The superintendent is hired by the school board ... the rest of the staff is hired and managed by the superintendent and his job is managed by the school board. Gov. Walker has the job of trying to make sure money is redistributed based upon the commitments made to agreements funded from income taxes ... this is Gov. Walker throwing down the shovel and picking up the axe. The citizens of Wisconsin voted him in to do just this ... he's fighting an honorable fight while thinking outside the box ... he's doing his job. Watch closely, this is what a politician with a work ethic looks like ... they're rare. When the private sector jobs come back the income taxes will be there too and hopefully the citizens will not forget the process that scattered the dem's and turned the WI capital into a one sided debate with only the voters who voted in the MIA represenatives on the floor to cry wolf. ... ... the truth has no agenda.
