That’s the way to motivate the troops.
They later went to the Democratic rally, where many of them booed Gov. Rod Blagojevich as he began speaking. Blagojevich said the union workers “have nothing to worry about. They’ll get the health care they deserve.”
He then called on AFSCME to help get a capital bill passed that will create jobs.
“They’re lucky to have a job, and they have health care,” Blagojevich said of the state workers. “They’re going to keep their jobs and keep their health care. Now, start helping us create jobs for other people and provide health care to other people.”
I generally hate comparisons of government to business because government does the things business won’t do naturally. That said, imagine a CEO saying that to his employees.
There is someone lucky to have a job and it ain’t the AFSCME members.
