Why Does Nikki Haley Neglect Working People of South Carolina?
Tuesday, 31 January 2012 08:10
Why does our lame governor obsess over unions? Is she that focused on political maneuvering for bigger and better things not including South Carolina?
"COLUMBIA — South Carolina Republican lawmakers say they want to get even tougher on unions to keep them out of the state. Gov. Nikki Haley says the state’s anti-union status is her best tool in recruiting businesses to South Carolina. The proposal introduced Tuesday in the House would increase penalties for unions that break state law, and require unions to detail their financial data to the state. Unions already file most of the data with the federal Labor Department. Haley also signed an executive order to ensure striking workers don’t get unemployment benefits."
While this state - and its people - climb out of a recession, Haley and her out-of-touch Republican cohorts in the general assembly just do not get it. They don't care. They really don't care about you.
Facts show this state is about as nonunion as you could get. Union membership is in single digits. So, why would our governor, who obviously knows there are more pressing issues in our state, focus on working people and their rights to better themselves?
It's a power grab. They simply want power - and more, more, more.
"South Carolina law already disqualifies unemployment insurance for striking workers. But the order is designed to ensure the state’s unemployment agency knows when workers are striking, and to prevent companies from having to fight a claim for benefits."
Haley is nothing more than a crybaby - and a pouting one at that. Plus, as a former legislator, you'd think she'd know the laws of the state before boohooing out loud about unions.
The best tool, Nikki, in recruiting businesses is our working people. You, Nikki, do not sacrifice on the shop floor hours and hours a day while wondering whether the company will stick around because of no union protections. The working people of this state have always put on a smile in the face of adversity and live their great days here without having to sell them as some marketing ploy.
Grow up, Nikki. How about try governing. We already have one Sarah Palin running around the country.

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

S. Carolina has never out grown its Confederate days. The wealthy class there really does want a slave labor working class. If they cannot get slaves now, they'll take very low wages.
My advice to you and all South Carolinians is MOVE. The state isn't going to get any better. The political system is owned by an entrenched corrupt gang of lackeys for the wealthy.
