Cain doesn't have to acknowledge in any way that unions think that that position, and the legislation, says something it doesn't say. It's not pathetic to ignore one's political opponent's misrepresentations in making your own argument.
Also, for Cain to not know that federal employees have no collevtive bargaining rights also shows a lack of depth.
This is not accurate.
Federal employees do have collective bargaining rights, but those rights are limited to exactly what Governor Walker limited CB to in WI:
from HERE:
While labor unions that represent federal workers do have some collective bargaining rights, provisions in the Civil Service Reform Act passed under President Carter in 1978 restrict federal employees from using it for pay or pensions and federal workers cannot be forced into a union or required to pay dues.
Compare that to the excerpt I posted to you in my last post. It's an almost identical situation in WI.
LOL...My daughter is a teacher, I have a sister who is a teacher. For all practical purposes collective bargaining does not exist in Wisconsin for public employees. That is why they demostrated for months on end, why the Demo Rats in the state senate fled to Illinois, and most importantly why a LOT of unions are decertifying because the union can’t pull the dues out of the members paychecks anymore.
Cain’s answer gives no indication he understands the issue, especially the nuance of what has happened with the public employees in this state.
