Unions – one for all and all for….oh, never mind…

And unions bash the companies for whom they work for not caring about the little guys:

A last-ditch effort to avoid the layoffs of 100 Michigan State Police troopers has failed.

Members of the Michigan State Police Troopers Association voted against a furlough plan that would have called for sacrificing some of their own pay to temporarily avoid the layoffs of their low-seniority co-workers.

The outcome of the vote was announced Friday but vote totals weren’t released.

Trooper layoffs will begin Sunday.

The layoffs are expected to save the cash-starved state $1.7 million in the fiscal year that ends Sept. 30. Most of those affected were hired after finishing trooper school in December.

Even if the furlough plan had been approved, there was no guarantee the low-seniority officers would have kept their jobs in the next budget year.

In this case, the little guys are their brothers-in-arms, the newest fellow officers.  Where’s the solidarity there, guys? Or does it really show that when the rubber hits the road, it is all about self-interest?

Now, I have no problem with self-interest at all!  However, as Liberals go and bash SC Gov. Sanford for being hypocritical for violating his vows (given his stance on traditional family values), shouldn’t they also be bashing the union for violating theirs?
