Labor's Democrat Problem By Jonathan Tasini, TomPaine.com
So, let's start by asking: Would you be willing to work without a contract for two years? The cops do not have the right to strike; it's written in the law as a prohibition. (Well, the truth is that few people really have the effective right to strike in America; a guy named Ronald Reagan took care of that). So, instead, the police are using what little leverage they have, a once-every-four-years convention, to apply some pressure. Is there no shame among politicians who, for political gain, run to the side of policemen when they save lives, from collapsing towers in New York City to the prosaic neighborhood home, yet will deny them a fair living or at least chastise them when they exercise their constitutional right to free speech?------------------------------------------- posted 6:43 AM :: reference link ::
