The Public Employees Unions have conceded the pension and health care contributions to Governor Walker. What remains on the table is collective bargaining. To give this up would be total loss of power.

Nurses, firefighters, EMTs, doctors, are all in here with the teachers, security personnel, bus drivers etc.
Listen to their point of view. It has changed my mind. I had to step out of my own regional ethnocentrism for a minute since I am not of a union mind set. If I were, I would definitely want collective bargaining. Otherwise, I would not have a union. Collective bargaining is what really defines a union. Otherwise, you are just another group of employees with a wish list. Collective bargaining gives that wish list some teeth and some nads.
