The issue isn't about money. It's about the rights of the worker.
Don't kid yourself it's always about the money. No one has the right to be given a job. No one should have the right to force me to pay them what they think is fair. The free market decides that, not some corrupt official who doesn't have my best interests in mind. I didn't start my business for anyone but me. I decide, not you.
Government needs to make laws that help set the free market in motion not stifle it under the guise of helping. Quit helping it hasn't worked very well, now has it?

There is no free market if the workers do not have a voice. It becomes a market dominated by corporate interests and shareholders. The workers become the lowest common denominator in the equasion.

That is correct you do not have to hire union workers but then again they do not have to work for you. No one is forcing anyone they are called negotions, even with non-union workers that is a possibility, you just have to do it one on one. The teachers have already agreed to the terms except losing their bargaining rights, so the fight is about unions not money, see how simple that is. Oh, GM is doing real good right now, unions and all, so your arguement fails the test of reality.

According to a new Wisconsin poll released today, Scott Walker would only receive 45% of the vote against his former democratic opponent if a new election was held today. The polling firm attributed the shift in support to households in Wisconsin with at least one union member (and I'm guessing the difference is R union homes).
Another national poll released today by CBS/New York Times shows that 57% oppose and only 37% support cutting the pay and benefits of public employees to reduce state budget deficits, and 60% oppose and only 30% favor taking away the collective bargaining rights of public workers.
Scott Walker may be trying to win a battle in Wisconsin, but the R's are losing a war because of it. The public doesn't support these efforts, both in and outside of Wisconsin. Many of you are certain the R's will take the blame if Walker doesn't compromise on the budget bill--according to these numbers, I don't think I'd be so sure.
And if we legislated based on polls, President Skippy wouldn't have passed obamacare. Fact of the matter is, Walker is governor. Deal with it.
