Somehow I am not impressed. People are all for solidarity as long as it only requires empty words and meaningless gestures like ordering a slice of pizza. Wake me up when someone is actually willing to make a real sacrifice for their brothers and sisters. http://www.channel3000.com/news/26946663/detail.html -----------------------------------snip Members of a Wisconsin police union stand divided over one group's support of Gov. Scott Walker's union bill. The majority of professional police unions around the state endorsed Democratic candidate Tom Barrett instead of Walker in last year's governor's race, including the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Association. But one particular endorsement for Walker -- like the recent protests at the state Capitol in recent days -- is making a lot of noise. Tracy Fuller, president of the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Association -- the union that represents state troopers, is now facing even tougher ones from his members. "Let's not finger point and tear at each other as a union," he said. But that's happening because while state troopers won't lose their collective bargaining rights if Walker's union bill passes, some members of two other agencies WLEA represents -- the Capitol police and University of Wisconsin police -- will. Fuller is encouraging a spirit of unity despite some acrimony. -raghu. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
