House lawmakers voted overwhelmingly last night to strip police officers, teachers, and other municipal employees of most of their rights to bargain over health care, saying the change would save millions of dollars for financially strapped cities and towns. http://www.boston.com/news/politics...use_votes_to_limit_bargaining_on_health_care/
And still not one of the financial terrorists from the banks being prosecuted. All they did was crash the economies around the globe. But some poor slob with a decent health-care package...that shit has to end, and right f'n now!
This is NOT A NEWS STORY! There is nothing to see here. Repubs not involved. Just move along now. This is not news! Seriously, tho, they "voted overwhelmingly last night to strip police officers, teachers, and other municipal employees of most of their rights to bargain over health care, saying the change would save millions of dollars for financially strapped cities and towns"? Last time I saw that there were riots. Any chance Ed Schultz will do his show from Boston this week or next?
Considering how many police officers, teachers, and other municipal employees are being laid off these days, if those who remain attempt to collectively bargain they can be fired and easily replaced by those out of work. Surplus labor is great!
Where did all the libertards on ET go in relation to this thread??? What, no threatening the lives of your fellow Democrat lawmakers that voted to pass this??? Of course, if this were a GOP bill in MA , it would have been national news, and the threats against their lives would have been non-stop. But as per usual, the Obama controlled lamestream media covers up for him once again.
