New York Times: Say, Let's "Fix" the Janus Decision By Empowering the Government to Directly Thieve Money Away from Public Sector Employees' Checks, and Send That Stolen Money Straight to Unions
Yes! Let's have the government turn to straight-up theft to take citizens' money to deliver it to their clients!
Let's get this Revolution started!JFC, NYT. pic.twitter.com/SP6xvRSj1s

And on, and on, and on.
But what is happening to the declining sums of money the unions are taking in as their membership shrinks? Aside from sizable political contributions, it appears there is a national epidemic of embezzlement by union leadership grifters. Let's take a closer look at what’s been going on around the country. First stop is New York. Meet Aaron Collington: he's the former president of the Troy, New York Police Union. Collington was accused of stealing $6,200 from the union bank account to pay his rent and was charged with third-degree grand larceny. The money he allegedly stole came from the Troy Police Benevolent Association’s bank account. Collington has pled not guilty. Moving over to Massachusetts, we find Henry Clay Green, Sr. who was the former secretary treasurer of Unite Here Local 26 between 2011 to 2016. Mr. Green has pled guilty to embezzling more than $170,000 from his union...
Perhaps you have loftier aspirations of grift. In that case, Raymond Ventrone of Pennsylvania might be your guy. Ventrone, a business manager for the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Local 154, was charged with embezzling almost $1.5 million of union funds.... Raiding union assets is not only an East Coast phenomenon. Say hello to Edward Padilla, former secretary-treasurer and business manager for the Bakersfield, California, office of a construction workers union. Padilla, who also served as president of his union, embezzled more than $160,000 according the federal court documents....

One thing that I believe IS an actual issue is the protection of public sector union members such as cops. being in a situation with a mayor such as in Baltimore , where the mayor is corrupt and siccing people on members, and the now lack of atty assistance if cops should find themselves in conflict Because OF political scams such as Lynch/ re NYPD and Freddie Grey as blackmail.
police make a pretty nice salary but not good enough to withstand that onslaught.

It's a good excuse but it's bullsh*t. They stay in because of the job security, the sweet raises during recessions, and the constant raises. It's why they're a voting bloc. It's a very simple agreement, too. They know governors and government of both parties will kiss their ass to pay for their votes every few years, and the teachers will grumble and poormouth to see who gives them the best deal on their vote.
Quick, name another job where you can work the same position for thirty years, add zero additional responsibility to your employment duties, and triple your salary before retiring with full benefits.

Posted by: Soona at June 28, 2018 07:24 PM (fNJbX)
I doubt the union would do anything for them. That's not what they say their job is. Example, a woman talks about the unions non-help for her in her Nursing job:
SEIU did nothing for me. I worked at the state hospital as an LPN (I'm now an RN) and had an RN coworker who did not think LPNs should work in the capacity we did. To shorten a very long story, she gave my personal info to a sex offender patient. For my birthday I got a card with a penis on the front and a heart symbolizing my vagina. The inside was signed by that nurse, my manager, my assistant manager, and several patients. I asked to transfer units. I was told no. I went to my union rep and union headquarters. I was told I would have to hire an attorney because there was nothing the union could do because I was not facing disciplinary action. They could only help if I was. So, I got a penis card from a sex offender signed by my boss for my birthday and the union couldn't even help me transfer to another unit. But they sure collected my dues.

Quick, name another job where you can work the same position for thirty years, add zero additional responsibility to your employment duties, and triple your salary before retiring with full benefits.
Illinois teacher. You can work 20 years as a union stooge, work one day as a substitute teacher and retire with a full teacher pension and benefits.

All you need is a partner to setup a business that provides "services" to the Union. However, when you finally do pull the plug, you had better head straight to the private jet that will take you to the non extradition country of your choice where you have stashed the stolen coin.

Someone in the comments of some other thread talked about staying in
the teacher's union because it offered protection in case they were sued
by a student. Now that sounds like it could be worth something. I don't
know what it costs to buy that kind of insurance on your own, but
getting it as part of union membership has to be of value.
Posted by: Anon Y. Mous at June 28, 2018 07:12 PM (pvjTE)
I didn't join a union (AZ right to work) but as a Special Ed. teacher carried liability insurance. it was very reasonable. "parent advocates" (lawyers) love going after SPED teachers and district programs for "failure to educate" and students are savvy about claiming teacher is racist or a pervert just because they are pissed off at them.
Posted by: Cannibal Bob at June 28, 2018 07:42 PM (2CQCl)
One thing that I believe IS an actual issue is the protection of public sector union members such as cops. being in a situation with a mayor such as in Baltimore , where the mayor is corrupt and siccing people on members, and the now lack of atty assistance if cops should find themselves in conflict Because OF political scams such as Lynch/ re NYPD and Freddie Grey as blackmail.
police make a pretty nice salary but not good enough to withstand that onslaught.
so ..
whats the solution to this type of activity and lack of protection?
=============
Look, the ruling did not abolish unions. It only stopped you from being forced to be in one. It now comes down to cost/benefit. If you are so worried about the above, join the union. If you're not, don't. This isn't Rocket Science.

Public Sector Unions should definitely be outlawed as they represent an unfair arrangement for transferal of taxpayer funds from bought and paid for politicians to unions who funnel a shit ton of back to the same politicians.
You have Unions and politicians on one side colluding on how much they can swindle from the taxpayers.

But, he fails to address the first problem in deciding to reduce the wages of the union workers. That is, UNION workers work under a contract. Their wages are already set in place. Nobody, not even the Legislature, can just reduce their wages in violation of their contract.
Of course, the government can try to negotiate lower wages in the next contract, but doesn't the government already try to do that? In theory, anyway.

My parents taught. My father, vice-presidentially, would NOT be in a room alone with a female student (or a group of them.)
Even if the union would have defended him from false harassment charges (unlikely), the accusation alone would have ended his career. And they would not have helped with any family-bankrupting civil charges.
The school did have female non-teaching employees to "help out" in class... that is, hang around so head-case female students couldn't just he-said/she-said a 'Mr. Jones touched my butt' if they didn't like their grades.

Now, the idiot Dems gave up the filibuster by filibustering Gorsuch, which didn't affect the balance of the Court. But their lunatic base demanded it.
So, now they can't filibuster, but their lunatic base is gonna demand they go balls to the wall, somehow.
Now, remember when the Wisconsin Dems fled the state to deny a quorum in the legislature?
Well, since McStain is not going to show up, we've only got 50 Reps. If all 49 Senate Dems were to go hide, then there would be majority for Constitutional quorum for the Senate to do business.
The question is does VP Mike Pence count for quorum purposes.
You may think that's nuts, they wouldn't dare do that. But you ain't seen nothing yet. Kennedy is the hill they're going to die on.

Now look at the work time put in and adjust. In the PRoC teachers work 180 days a year, sometimes less. A normal private sector might get 3 weeks vaco and two weeks holidays which works out to 47 weeks at 5 days a week or 235 days a year. 235/180 = 1.31 multiplier. So a private worker would have to earn $157,000 per year. How many private sector workers get that? A small percentage and I bet those are working 60-80 hour weeks.

I might, possibly, agree with the sentiment. But I wouldn't laugh. IT IS NOT FUNNY.
She is a "comedian" delivering a punchline. Most people will socially laugh at the appropriate timing of a punchline in a live show. Especially when the audience generally politically aligns with her and there is a giant red flashing light that says "laugh" and you have been told to laugh when the sign lights up.

Yeah and that's basically true (to the extent the union did anything) but the problems started with the unions then taking that money and dumping it into the pockets of leftist politicians and activists.
Unions had two choices: stop doing that, or eventually a ruling like the one that just happened will strip them of cash.
They chose poorly.

It's even more insidious than that. They require a permanent underclass. If the poor were allowed to elevate themselves from poverty there'd be no reason for Democrats to exist at all. Housing projects and the welfare system keep people in poverty by design. Get a job or get married? Less benefits. Minorities find their own way out? Import more.

Pretty much. Remember the Vietnam War Brain Trust? That went over really well.
You could go anywhere in the country and get someone who spent a few decades doing actual physical labor but got hurt and had to quit working and give them the title Harvard Labor Expert and the results would improve 100%
Their day would consist of sitting in classrooms and dissertation committee meetings literally saying, "You've never done this type of work before, have you?" after listening to two minutes of some budding "labor expert" with baby soft hands droning on about their research paper.

At the same time, please be sure to include raising taxes enough to covering the currently unfunded pensions for public sector union employees.

I think Ohio did a good job of communicating to the public safety community the reasoning behind the revisions and got buy-in from most people affected.

Had a sales guy working for our company a few years back who owned a Porsche, but whenever he did customer visits in the LA area where he lived, he'd either drive a rental or his wife's sensible mid-sized Toyota.
The LAST thing he wanted to convey to customers is that he was making boatloads of cash off of them. More than one salesperson in our industry made that mistake, driving expensive cars to customer locations.
Knew one of them who was enormously proud of his Dodge Viper (sweet ride, by the way). Nice guy, actually didn't need the sales job, he was loaded. And he lost a couple of customers when he cluelessly showed the Viper off.

College tuition for the kids? Added pension benefits?
And wouldn't all those goodies then attract more people to join unions over time? And make unions more popular? And potentially reduce the cost of hiring union members to a employer, who might not have to provide those benefit gratis?
Instead they steal the money, or give it away to politicians, who blow it getting elected. No wonder it is a failed model.

This thievery was facilitated through bogus personal 'charities' whose only charitable objects were the individual UAW fat cats in control. These personal 'charities' are very popular among union fat cats for the graft they deliver, surreptitiously.
This chicanery is also occurring at the Ford and GM UAW Departments. The UAW is so badly compromised that they will be unable to deliver the votes, in Michigan, in 2018. The rank and file is stone cold furious.
