Why Won't Wisconsin Police, Fire and Trooper Unions Join Their Brethren

I listened and watched on Wisconsin Eye the finance hearing on the Wisconsin Budget bill. 


A few times I heard democrats whine it was not fair that police , fire and state trooper unions are not involved in giving back concessions like the rest of the state unions are being given. It's not fair Walker excluded those unions out of the budget bill. Let's be fair. Come on Walker, make them have the same concessions.    


Legislature could act Thursday on budget plan - JSOnline:

"Except for police, firefighters and troopers, raises would be limited to inflation unless a bigger increase was approved in a referendum. The non-law enforcement unions would lose their rights to bargain over anything but wages, would have to hold annual elections to keep their organizations intact and would lose the ability to have union dues deducted from state paychecks."

My question, where is the brotherhood of the police, fire fighters and state troopers? Why don't these unions volunteer their unions to do the same as their brethren are being given? Why not tell Gov. Walker they will take the same concessions? Scott Walker, take our collective bargaining away!


Why aren't democrats demanding those unions accept the same thing? Why aren't the state, teachers, guards, county and other local union member workers asking police, fire and troopers to join them in the labor concessions? Where are they? Why aren't they?


Are the police, fire and trooper unions sympathetic to the other unions or are they just out for themselves? If the shoe was on the other foot, would teacher unions stand their ground or join police union concessions? Hummmmmmm.


Are those unions really that phoney. What a bunch of hypocrites! Why are not democrats in Wisconsin forcing police, fire and trooper unions accept what the other unions are getting? 


Will state workers think less of their brothers in those unions? Interesting.


State and teachers unions, let's hear from you. Your getting screwed and those other unions are getting away scott free! You're sure giving them a pass.
