Union busting is no bargain

I suppose there are lots of interesting POVs regarding the dramatic events in Wisconsin. Everyone seems to feel the Governor Walker's endgame is, at the very least, the prevention of collective bargaining by unions - first the unions for state employees and then the unions for private industry. Another possibility, which I heard on the radio today, is that Walker has plans to privatize all of the power companies in the state. What his real motivation for all this is ... hard to say, but The Center for Media and Democracy reports that this is an area with which the governor is fairly familiar. He's been there before.
