I remember your article and thanks for giving the link for anyone else who is interested.<br /><br />As for Wisconsin, let us hope it is the beginning of nation-wide push back. As WSWS has already pointed out, and I mention in a post today, "NEA says Take Our Wages, But Please Give Us A Voice," the race is already on by the national unions to reign in workers' anger and empowerment.Anonimohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040156020859417287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988323189898113183.post-67611971746123105812011-02-21T12:52:51.178-08:002011-02-21T12:52:51.178-08:00I am glad you wrote on this disgusting trend, whic...I am glad you wrote on this disgusting trend, which is happening to union "protected" (haha) teachers in public schools as well. Here is a link to an article I wrote for the WSWS last October, detailing other incidents as well. http://wsws.org/articles/2010/oct2010/teac-o22.shtml. <br /><br />I am hoping these Wisconsin protests are the beginning of a real walk-out of teachers from these worthless unions, and a beginning of a push-back against these vicious attacks by the elite on workers' livelihoods and rights across the country and world.Isabelle Belangerhttp://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100001526833958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988323189898113183.post-71751057632826759472011-02-20T15:35:40.434-08:002011-02-20T15:35:40.434-08:00Some of these teachers were union and their unions...Some of these teachers were union and their unions fought for them,ultimately losing in the courts. Over the past 30 years, free speech by both teachers and students has been increasingly restricted by the courts.<br /><br />As for Robert's comments, I appreciate his poetic language, but do not see the distinction between chattel and wage slavery diminishing. Rather, I would hope that the reality of wage slavery is becoming more obvious to the overwhelming majority of us who happen to be wage slaves. <br /><br />As the times become more desperate economically, it becomes more and more clear how dependent we are on our jobs to keep us fed and housed. One wrong word could get you fired and homeless. Thus, like slaves, we are stuck accepting low pay, onerous working conditions, degradation and humiliation, if we want to hold on to a steady paycheck.Anonimohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11040156020859417287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988323189898113183.post-72406960753968891052011-02-20T13:20:23.475-08:002011-02-20T13:20:23.475-08:00Were these other teachers at non-union shops as we...Were these other teachers at non-union shops as well?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988323189898113183.post-21599902820699139752011-02-20T12:52:23.569-08:002011-02-20T12:52:23.569-08:00Welcome to the new gilded age where the odious plu...Welcome to the new gilded age where the odious plutocrats are the only ones with a semblance of free speech and it becomes clearer every day that the distinction between chattel and wage slavery is rice-paper thin.Robert D.
