Under the compromise floated by Walker and detailed in the e-mails, workers would be able to continue bargaining over their salaries with no limit, a change from his original plan that banned negotiated salary increases beyond inflation. He also proposed compromises allowing collective bargaining to stay in place on mandatory overtime, performance bonuses, hazardous duty pay and classroom size for teachers.Unfortunately you are in the most difficult state for union reform. Wisconsin's John R Commons opposed Frederick Taylor's effort to organize work. Today based on Taylor's efforts we have Manufacturing Engineering and Industrial Engineering; truly American Disciplines. Very few people outside of Wisconsin have ever heard of Professor Commons.
Unions have their time and place. They should have no place in government. When the government sits down with the union there is no representation of the tax paying public. There is no concern that the bills come due. Without being able to pay their bills the states and federal government join the world of beggars. The following is a good speech.
However your speech misses the point. Do not debate with these people. Gov Walker get out of the courts of public opinion. Move to the Federal Courts. Indict the missing Senators for Dereliction of Duty, Nonfeasance! Force the runaway Democrats into court. Take the Case all the way to the Supreme Court.
Abraham Lincoln said, Never repeat yourself. Your friends think that you are changing your mind and your enemies think you are coming over to their point of view.If you back down your political career is over; remember "Read my lips"; Your epitaph will be "he couldn't bring them home". If you back down you will have weakened every Governor in the America when it comes to controlling the budget. Without the power to control the budget, we the people are lost.
