In Wisconsin is loyalty to their Unions taking precedence over loyalty to the people of Wisconsin ?
This letter was written to M&I Bank appears to be threatening a boycott...public sector union members are supposedly public servants ....and they are expected to avoid even the hint of impropriety in their labor disputes...and have taken an oath to serve the community.......
Excerpts from above letter :
The undersigned groups would like your company to publicly oppose Governor Walker’s efforts to virtually eliminate collective bargaining for public employees in Wisconsin. While we appreciate that you may need some time to consider this request, we ask for your response by March 17. In the event that you do not respond to this request by that date, we will assume that you stand with Governor Walker and against the teachers, nurses, police officers, fire fighters, and other dedicated public employees who serve our communities.
(snip)
In the event that you cannot support this effort to save collective bargaining, please be advised that the undersigned will publicly and formally boycott the goods and services provided by your company.
To me this sounds like a veiled threat from the Police and Firemen who are subject to anti-labor boycotts ..will their emergency responce be slower if they don't side with the Unions.....?
They are entrusted with the public's trust and there is an expectation of behavior,that is appropriate for that trust..... This letter questions that trust, imo.
