Fresno County workers strike and Rush Limbaugh attacks.
Today, 4100 Fresno County workers started a 3 day strike.
the Conservatives are doing their best to tear down the public employees and demand the workers be fired for striking.
the only talk radio on the Central Valley is hate radio KMJ on AM and their FM show.

Even Rush Limbaugh at to get in the act and put down the strike.
But that did not stop the 100's of workers who went out in the rain to strike in different places all over the County.

" Today on Rush Limbaugh's Morning Update on Fresno's Morning News "El Rushbo" tackled the SEIU strike in Fresno County.
Limbaugh went on to say that most SEIU employees make more than the average taxpayer and that "...these public sector unions feel entitled to bust the budget and rake in huge benefit and pension packages while you pay for it all. You work for them, they don't work for you, and don't you forget it." (The last line said with sarcasm.) "

on the SEIU 521 website
"Westbrook and other members described a bargaining process that the county treated as a joke. One member of the county team spent whole sessions texting on her phone. And the county started by introducing a package of 700 proposals that they said had to be accepted all together or not at all.
“It’s just outrageous how much they’re not willing to negotiate,” said Diana Calderon, a bargaining team member and eligibility worker.
It’s so outrageous that even the state Public Employee Relations Board, made up of two Republicans and two Democrats and rarely willing to call a county out for its failure to bargain fairly, has announced charges against Fresno County. "
