By “rhetoric and posturing,” Leibensperger is referring to the complaints and criticisms of OEA employees against OEA. Interesting, since OEA uses the same “rhetoric and posturing” when fighting elected officials for taxpayer dollars!

Critical Union Staff Blog: “Page Not Found”
In late August I began sharing quotes and context with readers of the Ohio sites I write for in my free time. By early September, years of union employees’ entries had vanished down the memory hole.
OEA Retiree: “OEA is once again wasting time and member goodwill”
The Ohio Education Association (OEA), Ohio’s largest government union and We Are Ohio’s biggest in-state donor, has quite the history of strife with its own employees.
OEA Employee: “OEA has chosen not to bargain fairly with its own employees”
“Ironic” is one word to describe OEA’s behavior with regard to its employees. Another would be “pathetic” – union bosses tell locals to “bargain hard” when taxpayer dollars are at stake, but suddenly care about saving money when it comes to their own cut.
Open Letter to Ohio Education Association Staff
I find it troubling that more than two years’ worth of entries written by your members – Ohio Education Association employees – are now hidden from the public or gone entirely.
Soak the Rich: Exelon Corp.
Don’t worry: this punitive tax policy won’t increase utility costs for the millions of Americans who buy electricity from Exelon subsidiaries or competitors!
Union Workers Silenced!!!
Three words for OEA bosses and the leftist hacks who have been whining about what a boring, irrelevant series my PSU posts have been: Print to PDF.
Obamarang
Like a bad penny – or a good boomerang – President Obama keeps turning up in Ohio, transparently campaigning in what the White House hopes will still be a battleground state this time next year.
OEA Employee: “OEA apparently does not care that it is rife with hypocrisy”
Would you hand a blank check to an HR consultant with miserable people skills? That’s what Ohio’s government union law passed in 1983 on a party-line vote does.
Soak the Rich: ConocoPhillips
President Obama may be hedging on the EPA’s righteous destruction of American polluters, but that doesn’t mean dirty corporations are off the hook. Sure, we’ve already soaked Exxon and Chevron, but the ill-gotten gains of a few more polluting fat-cats will cover the nation’s budget deficit!
