For Cain to speak at this rally and not know the ENTIRE point was that the union was pissed that their collective bargaining ‘rights’ had been taken away is pathetic.

Or maybe it's pathetic to not know that the ENTIRE point of Governor Walker's legislation was that the collective bargaining "rights" of unions had been LIMITED, NOT "taken away"?

from HERE:

Public employee unions have already said they were prepared to pay more money for health insurance and pension benefits, but they have balked at having their collective bargain rights restrained. The measure affects public employee unions except for police and fire.

Under the legislation, unions will not be able to bargain for health and pension benefits, will be limited in what they can seek in pay raises and have such other provisions as automatic dues payment modified.

The UNIONS say that their ‘rights’ have been taken away. To the union, the idea that they can’t bargain on work rules, wages, and benefits mean they have NO rights. Herman would have had to been blind to not see all the signs about just this fact.

Also, for Cain to not know that federal employees have no collevtive bargaining ‘rights’ also shows a lack of depth.
