Thank you L.A. Times for your expose’ telling the truth about our prison guards union. The article in today‘s paper, “Workers Blamed for Rise in Prison Phones” by Jack Dolan, is a bit of a welcome surprise. This reader enjoys reading your paper to remain aware of how liberal California is not thinking. However, this article is an accurate and truthful description of this union and offers California some hope for meaningful change.
The Prison Guard’s union is a glaring example of the few arrogantly spitting in the face of we taxpayers. They are one of the primary reasons that California has become such a dump. The teacher’s union is cheering them on. Their educational system failure, all in the name of concern for kids, is a ridiculous and obvious lie. Instead of more money, they deserve less and must support independent charter school and home schooling directives. Reform would then be possible. Don’t hold your breath.
California is dying and the unions continue to keep the plug pulled. There is a filthy nasty ring forming around the taxpayer tub and when it is empty, our state will finally have to confront the greedy villains. At that time it will be too late.
