If you believe the ads on TV and radio, and stuff like this website:
NOT MY WISCONSIN
I say public employees should be happy with the wages and benefits the People of Wisconsin are willing to give them, and that they should not be making veiled - and not so veiled - threats of violence and strikes against the people paying for said wages and bennies. If they feel they deserve more, they are free to seek productive employment in the private sector, where they can find plenty of union jobs.
There has been an ad running on Madison TV claiming Walker is "against the working class" - as if the public union's demands don't directly harm the people they want you to believe they care about.
Public employees should never have been allowed to unionize. President Reagan had it right when he fired all the striking air traffic controllers back when.
Some people - perhaps most - who choose public service are good people who do their jobs in a conscientious manner - but they chose the public sector, and that means they are going to be serving the public - not the other way around.
Governor Walker never said he wants to eliminate unions - he just said he wants to remove their power to threaten havoc in order to get their desires from the people of Wisconsin.
His decision to put the National Guard on alert is wise, considering the remarks some public union leaders made a few months back.
