In a recent AP article about the recent merit bonuses given to many WI state employees by Todd Richmond, Marty Biel (the executive director of the largest state employee union) said the group (his union) has always had problems with merit pay because it smacks of favoritism... Wow. If merit pay causes favoritism, aren't those union and non-union employees who do less than others on the same pay scale being shown favoritism? It can't be both ways. How else is one awarded for performance above and beyond? How else are those who can distinguised from those who can't (or won't)? Where are the unions who claim they look out for and help all workers when this inequality arises? It's these pesky double standards that keep getting in the way of their philosophy. It's just another way progressives are doing their best to keep the masses the same. Except for a few chosen elites at the top.
A little research by union members on union roots and those who started them would open a lot of eyes. This would remove the blinders and they would get a full view. Not just the view of the ass in front of them.
It looks like we need to spread the merit around...
