the obvious point is that negotiations need to be taken seriously, as with any contract. If you have a contract that you don’t think you can continue then you need to negotiate one that works
The principle of respecting one another as citizens with equal rights has been under pressure for a long time now. Anymore, you get more mutual respect between baseball players than you do “statesmen”. I use that word intentionally, because you seldom see it tossed around in the halls of government these days, unless you’re talking about a bygone era.
Karl Rove, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Wolfowitz, Feith, Kristol…on and on…stormtroopers all. To these men (and, no, I haven’t forgotten Ann, Michelle, Sarah, et al.) you are only a true patriot and real American citizen if you agree with them or will allow them to tell you how to live.
They believe liberalism is a disease, even though the changes wrought in society, so treasured by neo-cons, were almost all brought about by people considered, at the time, “libruls” by those who cannot accept change…(or evolution for that matter).
Yes, there are zealots on the left, but not in regiments and brigades like those who call themselves conservatives. Conservatives like to brag about individuality, but I have found they only have courage in numbers. Like Mitt Romney, the guys I named above are all chicken hawks who prefer to pay others to hold down their adversaries while they kick them…or cut off their hair, as it were.
As a spokesperson for conservation, I am always appalled that these “disciples of conspicuous consumption” call themselves conservatives. They should be called “egocentrists” perhaps, since their world is built around three words…I, Me, and Mine. You get no repect if you ain’t riding on their train.
Unions have always fought to increase the workers’ share of a workers’ value, as explained by that ol’ capitalist, Adam Smith. As the last unified voice of the workers that capitalists so love to exploit, the entire weight of the “free market experiment” is about to come down on their heads. We, as concerned citizens of this nation, MUST NOT allow labor unions to be eradicated by this current bunch of corporate thugs.
so..there.
did agree at the outset that we wanted to be respectful. There were times when things got testy. Negotiations went on for 6 months. When things get testy, when one begins to say “you don’t care about us”, it is a good idea to use data instead of feeling that you are getting over on another. But, these are people that I live with, people who I rely on to do their jobs well. I care about their success and their families. I care if their kids are going to go to college. I care if these people and their families will have good medical care. I DON’T want to feel like I “got over” on someone else.
Winning does NOT mean “I got everything I want and I don’t care whether you got anything you want.”. I think that is how Walker feels.
