“...Experts were taken aback by the scope of Walker’s proposals, which seek to undo decades of law and would gut the landmark National Relations Labor Act — adopted in 1935 and signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt at the height of the Great Depression.
“I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Ann Hodges, a professor at the University of Richmond who has studied labor law for more than 40 years. “This will take the breath away from anyone who’s worked in labor relations for any length of time. ... It’s pretty draconian.”
Walker’s plan also calls for prohibiting automatic withdrawal of union dues to be used for political purposes and forbidding union organizers to access employees’ personal information, such as their phone numbers.
Lee Adler, a labor law expert at Cornell University, said Walker’s proposals would eliminate workers’ rights and make it more difficult for people to join the middle class.”
How does this Adler moron qualify as an expert? Anyone with even a modicum of intelligence realizes that unionism (in all forms) is nothing less than slavery. As for the minimum wage, it's a freedom-denying form of indentured servitude.
This Republic soared to its highest peaks of productivity when unions (both public and private) were outlawed by sensible court rulings.
Being a highly paid drone does not qualify as entry to the middle class...it qualifies you for a nice house, an RV, etc. but, by itself, it does NOT confer social/economic standing.
“Lee Adler, a labor law expert at Cornell University, said Walker’s proposals would eliminate workers’ rights and make it more difficult for people to join the middle class.”
Sorry Lee, you need to take that up with the Fed Guv. They are actively destroying the middle class through their policies as we speak.
Yet FDR lengthened the time of the Depression with many of his programs. Unions are an issue of the past, time for the unions to go by bye!. Look at the UAW in the State of Michigan, union dues paid for the union bosses to have their own Golf Course (it since has been sold). Union Dues do very little for the peons, but are nothing more than an appartus to promote Democratic candidates
