In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Herman Cain said he supports the "right" for public employees to bargain collectively. In other words, he is in favor of unions on the taxpayer dime. Cain also said federal workers have unions, meaning the right to collectively bargain, but they do not.
On the issue of collective bargaining, Cain said he supported the right of public employees to bargain collectively.
"But not collective hijacking. What I mean by that, if they have gotten so much for so many years and it's going to bankrupt the state, I don't think that's good. It appears that in some instances, they really don't care."

Good comeback. Not.
What I read is your insult followed by your invocation of the personal-attacks rule (in response to what was a far MILDER attack than YOURS which preceded it).
Is “flaming hypocrite” a personal attack?
Because you’re a retired postal employee union-eer, I’ll add: That’s a rhetorical question.
Nice NOT knowin’ ya.
Watched what?
There's also a video today of him showing his awful grasp of current events / foreign affairs:
Brutal: Cain blanks on Libya, supports collective bargaining for public employee unions
No I didn’t ..can you count?
We'd had two years of close contact with the USSR at the time (sending them food, ammunition and vehicles for the war) and Stalin's guys decided we were probably an unreliable ally so they began the big push to get their domestic Communist allies into the government to insure we stayed in the war.
This more recent business of pulling out of VietNam, Iraq, etc. before completion of the task at hand is not new in this country, and the Russians didn't wish to be eradicated by the Germans, nor did the Commies want to have to turn into Nazis (or go to the oven factories for reassembly into constituent atoms).
Next thing you know the US government had Communist union organizers organizing!
Roosevelt had a stark choice ~ give in to the American union organizers (from the AFL/CIO movement) or find himself answering to Communist dominated unions.
Stalin was pretty thorough. He had control of people like I.F.Stone for example. I.F.Stone managed to keep Communists in the US fully informed regarding Politboro positions on everything. People like David Axelrod's mother worked for I.F.Stone.
He grew up under the tutelage of a mother who was part of Joe Stalin's Communist Party propaganda and internal US communication apparatus.
That stuff continued on after the end of WWII.
There are people here who want you to FORGET what went on in the dark days of WWII. You'd better believe Obama and his Leftwingtard lieutenants want you to give up your concern over Communist infiltration of the federal workforce.
They were threating to strike when Reagan fired the air traffic controlers.
How ironic that you write “truth” when you are such a liar.
Take a good look at #2. You might imagine that’s directed at factory only unions, company sponsored unions, small locals in specialty trades ~ but it was originally designed to allow more socially acceptable unions to kick out the Wobblies and a wide variety of Anarchist groups pretending to be unions (remarkably like the “Occupy WS” groups today).
I still support him 100 percent. He says he supports the “RIGHT” for them to make fools of themselves. I agree. Who cares. We could not have had a better outlook on this. I say let them continue making fools of themselves until November 2012. I love it. Killing each other, getting arrested, making a mess, getting kicked out of places, stinking up the place. I love it!!!!!
lol!
Good, we agree.
It didn't take the Commies long to figure out they'd never take America by confrontation and force, their only hope was stealth, sabotage, agitation, dissatisfaction, and dissent. Communism was already establishing such a poor record that the news of it had to be suppressed, and communism had to disappear.
So the overt commies did just that, and their covert compatriots stayed right where they were and sabotaged away.
They have been incredibly successful, so much that most commies nowadays don't even know that they are commies.
Got doubts? Consider the fact that every environmentalist/climate change/cap and taxer is a commie tool or a covert commie working toward the confiscation by regulation of all private property. Environmental concerns are just a ruse, and the Alinsky method is always employed to create the crisis need for Marxist solutions that are never properly called "Marxist".
Certainly all unions need close scrutiny for communist infiltration, most especially public employee unions, and even if found to be clean, public employee unions should be forbidden by law from collective bargaining on monetary issues as their employers have no barganing rights at all.
You mean the strikers who got fired? Not everybody went on strike. Not everybody got fired. PATCO got decertified too.
Federal employees have no right to strike.
That is not name calling ~ I didn't call him ignorant, but if you want to, you are free to do that.
BTW, "ignorance" is remediable. Stupidity is different.
There were NO COMPLAINTS.
The Post Office department could create difficulties that could tie up most of Congress for months at a time ~ with NO WINNERS.
Be careful what you ask for.
Current US position: support the rebels against Khaddafy.
That’s hardly a policy. Or at least not a relevant one.
From who, I certainly heard a lot from my fellow citizens, and I seem to remember the term "going postal" having a specific origin.
I think we are going to fail to agree on whom should be directing a Constitutional agency, the people, or the union execs.
Public sector unions have caused much of the fiscal crisis and bankruptcy problems for European countries and yet you and Cain think public sector unions are ok?
It is a major philophical deviation from conservative view points and you lame reference to FDR etc doesn’t wash.
As nominee, the question becomes how many GOP House & Senate seats does he take down with him.
More and more it looks like this Emperor has No Clothes.
