So you have no problem using the national guard against working Americans who are excersizing their free speech?
Hmmmm.
Collective bargaining = privilege
Government employment = privilege
Taxpayer = under privileged
Collective extortion = over privileged
Lose election and the legislative majority are stymied by the minority leaving the state = not democracy
Form mob and DEMAND more privileges = mob rule
Trash the capitol building = abuse of "free speech"
Threaten the legislators = abuse of "free speech"
It's not for "freedom", but abuse of the taxpayer.
The negotiations and amendments happen on the Senate floor. The Democrats never went to the floor. Thus, no negotiations could be made. It's very simple, A leads to B, but A never happened so B obviously never happened.
It was made clear no negotiations would be held, it was simply going to be a vote, that is why the Dems left.
Such a position cannot be seriously held by anybody who is more than 18 years old, unless they have had the Clinton administration surgically or chemically wiped from their memories.
I did NOT support the effort to impeach Clinton, but the fact remains that Clinton lied under oath, while the Far left filth wanted to remove Bush simply for policy decisions they disagreed with. See the difference?
"That’s because several studies have shown that promises to workers are far more costly than routinely calculated by Wisconsin and most states."

I cannot help but laugh at the rag NYTimes, who tries to show "balance" by arguing that collective bargaining won't eliminate the problem.
Of course it won't, the point or eliminating collective bargaining was to have the FLEXIBILITY to start reducing these unsustainable, unaffordable promises that public employees erroneously believe they were granted the day their mother gave birth to them - regardless of how they might damage the quality of education, roads, general services, tax base, etc., for the rest of the citizenry.
Blah blah blah, my husband has been working 100-hour weeks with no days off for the past almost two months now. Before that, he was working 60 hour weeks with 1.5 days off. This year, he probably won't get any vacation time. Quit complaining, lots of non-union people work crazy hours and you don't hear them whining.
I need to buy stock in a company that makes tiny violins, I think.
Yes, you could use a tiny violin yourself!
Your words above are just as much of a "whine" as anyone else's. When it is you "whining", it is free speech and sharing- but....... when it is someone else "whining", it is just plain old "whining".
We need to be kinder about listening to one another. Merely shouting (or whining ) "whiner!" at each other doesn't solve anything or have any meaningful use whatsoever.
