Pictures Of Firefighters Marching With Unions At Wisconsin Capitol FEBRUARY 17, 2011 by dekerivers If there was any one moment Thursday that made everyone stop and turn, salute and cheer, it was when the firefighters came to stand alongside their fellow union members. It was a powerful, emotional, and truly American moment. I can only hope the pictures here convey the impact the firefighters made as they walked to the Wisconsin State Capitol on Thursday.

More brainless fools being led to slaughter by their union bosses. We all know unions aren't there for the employees, they are there for their bosses and their political masters. So what happens when the union bosses won't make any concessions???? More union people collecting unemployment and more people at risk to fires. Some people just never learn...... Unions are shrinking in size and the bosses don't like it, because they see their power diminishing and their wallets shrinking.
Unions have been making concessions for a long time now. In the face of their reduced power, unions were compelled to make substantial bargaining concessions beginning in the early 1980s. These included wage and benefit givebacks, the acceptance of two- and three tiered wage systems, and greater demands by employers for flexibility and cooperation.
I can't wait until we come full circle and reenter the era where robber barons have total control once again.

Perhaps we're there now and haven't recognized it yet.
