Governor threatens CIR veto (union busting in Ne to get Omaha Steve's union)
Source: Omaha World Herald

LINCOLN -- Gov. Dave Heineman said Monday he would veto the proposed revisions to the Commission of Industrial Relations if the legislative bill reached his desk in its current form.

It's unusual for the governor to signal a veto in advance of a bill's passage. But he said he wanted to be "crystal clear" about Legislative Bill 397, which is currently being considered in the Nebraska Legislature.

FULL story at link.

Here is the plan. Heritage Foundation, Platte Institute Ne., the Tea Party, the Chamber of Commerce, and two R US Senate candidates in Ne. will be passing petitions in Ne. They want to end the CIR and my right to be in a public union. They will put it on the Fall general election in 2012. I already can't strike like most states. They keep purposely using incorrect info that shows public service unions are overpaid. I'm sure you know in the current climate and the fact I'm in Ne. means my right to be in a union will probably end during December 2012 when our current contract expires.

5. IF I said what it is time for...

I'd get kicked off the DU and I'd be in court.

4. Isn't there freedom of association in the Constitution? These fascists get together to conspire...
against the public good, free from paying their share, hiding behind their tax shelter foundations and think tanks. Bunch of crooks.

Too bad no one is taught history in this country anymore, or they'd know they 'came for' the unions first.
