If you vote for this guy say goodbye to decency.

Scott Walker Says He Would Crush What

Right now a good job means that you have vacation, You have weekends, and you have health insurance. Say goodbye to the unions and there is no one looking out for the American worker.

Unions are dysfunctional at best. They cost workers and the Middle class Jobs and benefits. You must belong a a dysfunctional union to make that claim.

Walker just cleaned up the public unions, because the tax payers are paying for those services.

your link is to Thinkprogress.

Walker supports employment and pay based on performance… in our schools and our local and state governments.

I agree with him on this issue.

That's an amusing hypocritical accusation, jojajn, considering public-sector unions contribute millions and millions to the campaigns of the very individuals they want to be negotiating the contracts with their unions.

So to you Law Enforcement Officers and Fire Fighters and EMT's should not be able to have a Union, has he killed their unions in Wis, or did he specialize in Teachers? Walkers problem is he keeps talking and the more he talks the more he reduces his chances of getting the GOP nomination, I would not even put him in third place and Jeb has not thrown in his hat yet and who knows about Christie, Walker is just another also ran.

You think the 90% of people who aren't currently in a union will suddenly have their vacations cut if the unions go away? You're deluded if you think unions have that much impact on how non union companies compensate their employees. There are no unions in the tech industry and it's one of the highest paying fields in the country, if unions managed to get a hold in it tech workers would probably take home less pay.

I've never had a union associated job but I have supervised union AND non-union workers (at same job). I could certainly tell which was either. I did have to save a union worker's job from management. The union would have had no option at his termination.
