"Pop quiz: What political party, in what state, this week passed a bill in the dead of night stripping public-sector unions of their collective- bargaining powers? Republicans in Wisconsin? The GOP in Ohio or Indiana?
Try Democrats in Massachusetts. Maybe the debate over public-sector benefits isn't all that ideological after all. That would be the view of Massachusetts Democratic Speaker Robert A. DeLeo, who late Tuesday led an overwhelming majority of his House in passing a bill divesting policemen, firefighters, teachers and other municipal employees of the power to collectively bargain most health-care benefits. The 111-42 vote took place at 11:30 at night, so as to avoid a mass of protesting union workers set to descend on the State House the next day. The cheek.

Democrats in Massachusetts lead movement to restrict collective bargaining rights of Public Workers.
Gee, I wonder why this didn't garnish as much attention as Wisconsin's events? What ever could it be? Oh wait, now I get it...... One was a Republican affair, and the other was a Democrat affair. |

It's good to see that even some dems are seeing the truth and follies of union propoganda. |

From that article.... Collective bargaining isn't some kind of weapon that unions can wield to force local governments to squander taxpayer dollars on their every whim, or to ensure free, premium health care for every public employee. It's simply the right to sit at the table and negotiate.  |

Why you laughing? The article had it right. |

The Smithsonian sent curators to document the protests in Wisconsin. Anyone wanna guess if this will be remembered? Smithsonian curators are left wing. They were collecting Pat Buchanan buttons as an example of "hate" back when he was running. Saw it in an interview on C-Span.
