So Why Is Scott Walker Against Unions In Wisconsin?

Public sector employee contracts are written by the union and rubber-stamped by Democrats — and the taxpayers only find out years later that public school teachers are allowed to get a full year’s pay for 30 days’ work over three years after they retire — as is the case in Green Bay, Wis., where one out of every 12 teachers retired this year to take advantage of the “emeritus” scam.
This is what all the commotion is about in Wisconsin. Republican Gov. Scott Walker isn’t even trying to eliminate collective bargaining for government workers’ salaries. He only wants to eliminate collective bargaining over their conditions of employment, which has led to massive inefficiencies.
Thanks to union grievance procedures, the union representing school crossing guards filed a formal complaint over a sweet old man volunteering to get the kids across the street in Wausau, Wis. Warren Eschenbach, an 86-year-old retiree, had been volunteering each morning as a crossing guard at a school near his home. But according to the union, only a highly paid government employee should be permitted to do that job.
Fifth-grader Megan Sichterman, told WAOW, an ABC affiliate, “I was really sad because all the kids really like him. He’s really nice to everybody, and I was kind of scared at the same time that we wouldn’t see him on the corner anymore.”
Even in the middle of the battle over collective bargaining rights for government unions, the snowplow operators’ union filed a grievance against Racine, Wis., to demand paid days off for snowplow operators … after a snowstorm.
After a massive storm shut down the city for two days, snowplow operators thought they deserved two paid days off on account of all the snow, like other government employees got.
The snowplowers’ union also filed a grievance against the city for hiring private plowing services to help with the snow removal. Perhaps it was that troublemaker Warren Eschenbach showing up with a snow shovel and volunteering to help clear the streets.
No government snowplow operators were laid off and plenty of them worked overtime after the blizzard — but the union thought Racine should remain immobilized by snow for a week so that government snowplow operators could get even more overtime.
In the private sector, a company that capitulated to such ludicrous union demands would go out of business

Amazon Checkout Payment Options….?

I saw that an online retail website I frequent has added the Amazon Checkout option when checking out. This site is not affiliated with Amazon.
If you choose to check out using the Amazon Checkout option, a small pop-up window opens, asks you to log into your your Amazon account, and then takes you to what seems to be the final step in the checkout process (choosing payment options, shipping options, shipping address, etc.).
I would like to know if this feature allows you to use an existing Amazon gift card balance that was applied to your account prior to you using the Amazon Checkout feature on the 3rd party site.
For example, let’s say I got an Amazon gift card for $50. I then applied that card to my Amazon account and so, my Amazon gift card balance (on my account) becomes $50. I then go to a 3rd party site that had the Amazon Checkout feature, purchase something, and use the Amazon Checkout feature. Will I be able to use my gift card balance of $50 towards my purchase?

Which Movie Streaming(watching) Or Movie Selling(in Disks) Websites Offer Affiliate Marketing Services?

I blog about movies. I want a website I can refer my daily visitors so that they can watch or buy movies and I get to earn a commission from what they spend or if they sign up. I am currently referring my visitors to Amazon and I get only 4% of what they spend. Most DVDs on Amazon go for around 10$ and so when you calculate 4% of that I am barely making anything.
Please give me a list of other websites I can refer my visitors to especially those that charge to stream and watch movies online instead of buying them in disks. Are there any like those?
