In a nation where the long decline in unions has led to a pervasive slump in wages . . .

What a crock! And I suppose open borders and the Wall Street quest for cheaper and cheaper labour has absolutely nothing to do with it.

By the way, Walker isn't targeting unions . . . he is targeting public employee unions which are organized against the taxpayer. Even FDR abhorred such unions.

And next week, Wisconsin will become the 25th Right to Work state.

Yeah he is. Right to work laws target private sector unions. And to be fair, he's only targeting public sector unions that opposed him in the elections.

I was just about to call "Bull-bleep" on this before you beat me to it!

The "long decline in wages" perfectly correlates with the rise of other (successfully) competing industrialized nations, and can only be reversed as our workforce becomes well-educated and well-trained, and use appropriate amounts of technology and automation - something unions seem to adamantly oppose.
