Will Temp Jobs Break Unions

RUSH: Janet in Phoenix, you’re next on the Rush Limbaugh program. Hi.

CALLER: Merry Christmas, Rush, to you and your family and everyone at EIB.

RUSH: Thank you very much.

CALLER: Hey, I just learned recently that the post office has found a great way to deal with the collective bargaining. Every time somebody quits or is fired or retires, they hire a temp to replace ’em.

RUSH: That’s happening in a lot of businesses around the country.

CALLER: And I know that there are aspects of it where benefits are concerned that seem bad, but over the course of time there will be no more union members. They just won’t exist anymore. And I see it as a peek into something we can do, you know, the public workers should not be able to collective bargain with the taxpayers.

RUSH: Well, I understand what you’re saying. I think the unions would spot that trend long before they would allow it to happen. Unions are not just gonna sit around and watch themselves dissolve.

CALLER: Oh, I agree, I agree that it will take an awful lot of work. But I think the will is there, and I think the people are disgusted with the collective bargaining against taxpayers.

RUSH: Everywhere, Janet, everywhere. Thanks for the call.
