On Wisconsin?
Should state employees have their union broken? Interesting public support against it in the evening news and internet news polls on that question. (see http://www.cbsnews.com)
The Federal Government has a few unions, the famous air traffic controllers strike’s example, and the wage –grade unions, say for the postal workers or the GPO. There is nothing however like AFSCME, the NEA and their associated unions of the state workers.
The Federal approach would see the salaries and wages set to scales set by Congress. the state legislatures adopting that approach would do the same.
It is not the same government however, and the issue is one of collective bargaining rights, coupled with the people’s government’s right to nullify a contract. Sometimes, the people also cannot afford what they want.
The taxpayers won’t be held hostage.
Collective bargaining does it; but its price in Wisconsin is apparently too high?
The bargaining table, with reasonable negotiations is far cheaper and a better taxpayer buy.
Let’s get it on Wisconsin!
