Governor Walker supports the "right" of public workers to collectively bargain.

First, he exempted police and firefighters from his legislation.

Then, as he explained over and over again, his legislation simply LIMITED collectively bargaining to certain issues.

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.

This is what Cain was referring to by saying unions should not be able to "hijack" collective bargaining.

and Gov Walker is right. A man that stuck to his guns despite the threats from the unions and bullies. I love Walker and would not mind seeing him run for higher office

This is one of those moments where the anti-Cain roaches parade in daylight.
