Jesus they are everywhere. It's not just in Australia that the conservatives think they can shaft workers with "WorkChoices" like programmes. Check this out.
The new Republican Governor of Wisconsin has decided to beat up his public sector workers. The people of Wisconsin are good folks and they don't deserve this ratbag. But he is what you get when the economy goes pear shaped as a result of letting fools and war mongers run the place for 8 years.
This is not a complex issue folks - Governor Walker is just another right wing dingbat who is trying to screw the workers in Wisconsin.
Next thing you know this theme will be all across the US and then they will be exporting the programme to their friends and neighbours across the world. Beware UK, OZ and NZ.
I have pinched a quote below from the Huff Post story - this seems to summarise the situation.
"Scott Walker thought he could do absolutely anything he wanted to do. He truly thought that his election and the election of Republican majorities in the state Assembly and Senate meant an endorsement of absolutely every impulse, theory, and political vendetta that he felt like expressing. Numerous reports say that Republican legislators were shocked at the level of protest. They had better get used to it -- I don't think these demonstrations are going away. What's going on in Wisconsin, in other words, is what is going on in the country at large. Republicans were elected by promising to focus on creating new jobs and nothing else. Once in office, they focused on pretty much everything and anything other than creating jobs, only to discover that the voters had been listening all along. By 2012 I would not be at all surprised to find Republican candidates for office in Wisconsin trying desperately to deny that they ever heard of Governor Walker, assuming his term lasts that long".
Sound familiar?
