Yesterday, the Ohio State Senate voted to pass SB 5, a bill which if passed in the House and signed by the governor will eliminate collective bargaining for state employees. This is video of one of the senators who voted against the bill explaining his "reasoning" for voting to strip teachers of their right to organize. The video contains some NSFW commentary by yours truly.

1. STFU Scab supporter!!

You wasted 4:29 seconds on my life with your rah-rah look-at-me I've-become-a-lardass-ex-quarterback speech.

2. So, if I understand this correctly,

but for turncoat scabs, this pompous blowhard would be ripping people off in a used car lot rather than in the Ohio senate, and perhaps some deserving and talented person who actually gives a shit about someone besides himself might be there instead. Does that sound about right? :smoke:

3. That pretty much sums it up. (nt)

4. How touching! Scabs made him what he is today.

How much you want to bet he tells that football story every chance he gets.

5. But he's not bragging about the ring. (nt)

;)

6. LOL!

7. So, he got a scholarship because he was sorta

on the football team?

8. Think of it, if that coach had not crossed that picket line, this self-centered jerk might not

be in the Wisconsin Senate today.

Solidarity matters. Don't cross picket lines.

9. So he's getting his own back at those teachers whose selfishness almost cost him his free ride

Guess what? If I were studying to be a teacher (And they have to work a lot harder to get into their jobs than a lot of corporate executives) Ohio would be off my list of places to look for work once I was certified. Have fun at the bottom of the heap Ohio- You're about to join Texas, Georgia, Virginia and the Carolinas.

10. That's my fear. (nt)
