“...Experts were taken aback by the scope of Walker’s proposals, which seek to undo decades of law and would gut the landmark National Relations Labor Act — adopted in 1935 and signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt at the height of the Great Depression.
“I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Ann Hodges, a professor at the University of Richmond who has studied labor law for more than 40 years. “This will take the breath away from anyone who’s worked in labor relations for any length of time. ... It’s pretty draconian.”
Walker’s plan also calls for prohibiting automatic withdrawal of union dues to be used for political purposes and forbidding union organizers to access employees’ personal information, such as their phone numbers.
Lee Adler, a labor law expert at Cornell University, said Walker’s proposals would eliminate workers’ rights and make it more difficult for people to join the middle class.”
I’m not saying it’s not an issue. It is. I’m saying it’s not the big issue in federal spending. Health costs, for example, are a much bigger issue. Entitlements in general. And what is driving up health costs everywhere, at the state and federal levels? The invasion of illegals. Have you been to a public hospital lately?
I think Walker is a good guy, and I might be wrong in my assessment that he peaked earlier this year. But that’s my assessment. The highest poll numbers he had this spring is as high as this guy is going to go this time around.
I wish him all the luck in the world in 2024.
He’s young. He can continue to do great things and be ready for 2024.
