(GI JO) Alrighty now, Minnesota in attack mode, now their are two. Let me be as clear as possible... Don't want you to feel victimized.. CORKIE WROTE................ where do you live and work, GI JOE? you refer to Minnesota as "down there" (GI JO) I am GI JO from NYC.. work and live here. Child care provider/ gfdc. You say you make good money thats why you do not understand the movement. You have no subsidized children therefore, how can you understand.... In reference to Minnesota as "down there". what would you prefer on "the side there" or up there" you know where you at, whats your point...? Corkie. CORKIE WROTE I see NO free will or choice given to providers who publicly oppose joining or financially supporting a union. (GI JO) You see no Free will, are you shackled when you write your outbursts to others opinions. Or are you the poor legally blind provider, THEY made you sign a card that gives THEM the right to rule your life?? You should have asked for it in Braille. CORKIE WROTE . Then those whose free will/choice has been deined are subsequently taxed by a union that surreptitiously acquired signatures on cards through misreperentation wiggled itself into a postion of sole representation of these providers through their already chummy relationships with commissioners and elected officials. Is our freedom to say "no" revoked? (GI JO) Tell me how can a state that has not been approved for legislation on a union, be giving out union dues???? You are making your fellow state providers look really ...........you know. Did THEY rewrite the constitution, in your state to take away your freedom of speech. If they did you not listening. Surreptitiously, ha, was it presented as a winning lotto ticket? CORKIE WROTE JMHO: whether or not you have chosen this course for yourself isn't going to change my mind... I don't want to be taxed by any union whose methods and political stances in other issues go against the grain of my values. This whole thing, IMO, is not about securing better quality of care for children and supporting families in hard economic times- it is about raking in money and power for pre-existing union politics. (GI JO) Assuming you are referring to the same person and topic, WHO IS TRYING TO CHANGE YOUR MIND. Contrary to your illusion, you still have the right to just go ahead and do whatever you do. Keep to the grains of your values, they have been dampen with bitterness. Once again the intials, Thats your opinion, it may not be your view of what unions are meant to do. Won't bother explaining social justice. You are too bitter. WHY? If you have a point to make, why not attract with honey instead of using vinegar. Only one state has been given the Executive Order to be unionized. Your state is not it. So relax, and stop attacking people with your outburst. gi jo/provider/gfdc voice member uft-acorn member sidca team member Name: Email: Subject
