Wisconsin Prisoners to Replace Union Workers

In Wisconsin, home of the much-maligned Republican effort to weaken the collective bargaining power of public employees, a local county is considering the use of prison inmates for community upkeep in place of union workers.

Racine County Jail prisoners have been limited until now to mowing the grass on highway medians, because unions stood in the way. But with the successful passage of Governor Scott Walker’s anti-union legislation, county leaders say inmates could also perform jobs like landscaping, painting and shoveling snow from sidewalks.
 
The change could be a “win-win,” says County Executive Jim Ladwig, because prisoners would enjoy “a sense of value they are helping the community,” while the government would save money since the inmates aren’t paid.
 
Those volunteering (no inmates could be required to do the work) would receive reduced sentences.
 
Earlier this year, unions in Wisconsin lost the ability to claim certain public jobs as “union-only” in addition to losing their right to negotiate how much of their paycheck goes to health care and retirement.

They'll get more done from volunteers than what they were getting from the people they were paying.....

Free ride time is over kiddies whether you like it or not, it's going back to the old days/old ways..... be productive at your job or be unemployed.... now all they have to do is institute "Working" Welfare and shorten unemployment drastically and some people will get the hint......

When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!!
