I could be wrong, but I don't think the governor can alter contracts signed between cities and the union.
I mean not really, I guess I'll ask again, why do you think all these free market unions destroy America types seem to focus on teachers unions and and the SEIU and not the police unions? When's the last time you've heard some great Republican push for right to work for the police? Never. Duh.
So you've missed the point three times so I'll just explain it to you. Why is it that somehow police unions have escaped the wrath of free market Republicans? The answer is pretty simple, they're not anti union like as a concept, they're anti worker empowerment. Don't mistake one for the other. To help keep the workers down you need a good police force, like Inso0 said, the last people want to piss off when you want to go crack some skulls is the police. You need them, and to have a good police force on your side you want a strong union.
And so lo and behold, what do we have? People who talk about how unions are bad and how we need to be able to fire any person for any time, but those same people never talk about it when it comes to cops.
But look you came in here with the college freshman Republican mindset of "Well libs, if you want worker protection so much, now you see why we have to let capitalists fire that working mother of two making minimal wage because she stood up to sexual harassment, or else you'll get rampaging cops killing people with impunity".
But of course there are already other countries who have strong unions and strong union protections AND don't have marauding cops. How is that possible? I know, Mr Wookie knows, but I guess you don't. Hopefully you'll figure it out somehow.
