It is NOT BS. I saw Herman Cain at the TeaParty counter rally at the Wisconsin State Capital last winter. Cain was up on stage espousing TeaParty talking points while 1000’s of state and teacher union thugs marched around us and chanted anti Walker crap. For Cain to speak at this rally and not know the ENTIRE point was that the union was pissed that their collective bargaining ‘rights’ had been taken away is pathetic.
I can’t figure this guy out. Obviously he has smarts, but sometimes he seems dumb as a rock. This is just another example.
Or maybe it's pathetic to not know that the ENTIRE point of Governor Walker's legislation was that the collective bargaining "rights" of unions had been LIMITED, NOT "taken away"?
from HERE:
Public employee unions have already said they were prepared to pay more money for health insurance and pension benefits, but they have balked at having their collective bargain rights restrained. The measure affects public employee unions except for police and fire.
Under the legislation, unions will not be able to bargain for health and pension benefits, will be limited in what they can seek in pay raises and have such other provisions as automatic dues payment modified.
