Police and Firefighters

[Sabien]

The State Patrol, Firefighters, and local Police should refuse to accept the exemptions that affect take-home pay.

Make him refuse your offer, and it will expose his real goal for all to see.

1. The public safety unions are very well represented in the protests

I walked my second lap around the capital yesterday behind a group of Cops for Unions.

I can't say what their unions have officially said to Walker, but there is no doubt that the union members are doing exactly what you propose.

2. The unions (State workers)

have ALREADY given Walker ALL of the financial concessions he wants. ALL they are asking to keep is their collective bargaining rights.

And I don't know how many cops and firefighters I hugged yesterday. They have been heroes in this, as they have made very strong statements in support of the unions, and have had a huge presence at the protests all week.

The amendment that didn't pass already tried to include the police and firefighter unions.

Since the unions have given on the $ issues, the real goal IS clear to see! There is no reason to keep the provision regarding collective bargaining and reaffirming unions in this bill other than to crush unions.
