How do you measure what most public employees do? Who ever plows the most roads? plows them best? hits the least amount of mailboxes? how about education? <br /><br />are you willing to forgo a couple of years of qualified nurses quitting and hiring unqualified ones until "balance is reached again"?

When dealing with individuals, they can. That isn't an erosion on individual rights at all. Rather, it's a limiting of the scope of what can be provided to employees via a third party. It's easy to say, "yeah, but if employees WANT to be represented by a third party, then they should have that right!", and they do, but there's no reason that the state should have to deal with those third parties in the same way. This is actually promoting individual rights and individual liberty by encouraging employees to be their own advocates. If they don't want to, that's fine, but in that case, Act 10 provides relief to the state by preventing them from being in a position of having to provide large across-the-board raises to groups of employees even when some of the individual employees in that group may not deserve a raise at all.<br />You know who should be happy about this? People that take pride in their work. People that are good at what they do will be rewarded commensurately. That's the way the world works. If they aren't rewarded to the level they feel is appropriate, they are free to pursue employment elsewhere. Let's not forget - "public employees" aren't a class of people. They are simply people who happen to work for a particular type of entity. They are not slaves. If, all of a sudden, a huge mass of public employees decided they weren't getting paid enough or weren't getting big enough raises and they decided to quit, and suitable replacements could not be hired at those current pay levels, then the pay would increase until such time as a balance was once again reached. And that, friends, is how the free market works.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-46247987937799154662014-04-23T07:21:19.745-05:002014-04-23T07:21:19.745-05:00Blaska is a poster boy for nepotism, so he as usua...Blaska is a poster boy for nepotism, so he as usual is the first to defend it.
