Collective bargaining requires that there be someone to represent the interests of the employer. In public employment that is often not the case.
That's a failure of the government's own leadership, not the fault of the existence of collective bargaining.
You piss and moan about "cadillac" benefits, but the lack of leadership at the state level was responsible for that. When the state finally gets hard-ass leadership to trim back on the cadillac plans, that fine and okay, too, IMO. Trimming back the 'Cadillac' plans has been accomplished in Wisconsin. Budget crisis solved.
But that's as far as it should go. Walker is reaching farther. He is reaching to take away the right to collectively bargain.
Sorry, but no.
I'm not a union guy, never been a union guy in my life, but if the 6 workers at the local Blockbuster Video joint down the street want to create a union, who am I to say no? Who am I to restrict their rights to collectively bargain with their employer? Who are you to do that? Who is Walker to do that? Just because Blockbuster Video Corporate may hire a spineless negotiator from time to time, we must restrict the worker's ability to organize?
