Is it possible? Is it possible that families are tired of the corruption of unions, on a local level?
"On its November 2 and June 8 ballots, California voters weighed in on a total of 20 local ballot measures that influence the pay, pension packages, healthcare retirement payments, and contract negotiation prerogatives of labor unions. The pro-union/labor position lost in 19 out of the 20 contests.
* 5 measures about labor negotiations, pay rates and binding arbitration. The union position racked up a 0-5 score on these.
* 3 measures about Project-Labor Agreements. The union position went 0-3 on these.
* 12 measures about pension reform. These measures were a potpourri of different ways to rein in pension and retirement benefits. Three were advisory only. The only straight up loss for those advocating pension reform was the loss of the Adachi Initiative in San Francisco. (One pro-union measure, Proposition L in Riverside received a majority vote, but less of a majority vote than its rival, Measure M, which means than Measure M, not Measure L, will go into effect.)"
The people of California, at least on a local level, understand that unions are a major reason for the California Depression. Watch as city after city, school district after school district start firing employees, cutting programs and telling unions they will no longer be the bag-men for the extortionists. It is not the role of government to collect bribes for unions.
Maybe California can be saved.
