I don’t get this at all.
Seeking '16 spark, Walker proposes vast union restrictions - News - telegram.com - Worcester, MA
"MADISON, Wis. (AP) " Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker called Monday for sweeping restrictions on organized labor in the U.S., seeking to replicate nationwide his successful effort as Wisconsin's governor to curb the power of unions."
According to the BLS, only about 12 percent of employed wage and salary workers in the U.S. are represented by unions. So how is all this union power a big concern to anybody? And how many voters are moved on way or the other by an anti-union stance?
Granted it can make for good theater, as it did in Wisconsin a couple of years ago, but in the voting booth? Sounds like a figment of the media’s imagination to me.
