An American workplace war that's reached a tipping point

Don't buy the headline. Read what he really said:

I supported it when I was in the legislature. I just have said in the past that there was so much attention, so much focus from the last time that what I heard from my employers — big or small or anywhere in between — in the state was that things needed to cool down, things needed to get focused in the state. While they appreciated it, they said that in the larger context, we need to get things back on track. People liked what happened [regarding the reforms], but there were a certain amount of employers who were just frozen during the protests, frozen during the recalls. They wanted some sense of stability in terms of what was coming next.

Then at the very bottom under all the side bar ads, he clarifies it:

Now, beyond that, in Wisconsin [there is] a very small percentage of private-sector unionized employers to begin with. And so the vast majority of people who would be affected by [the] right-to-work [law] if it were statewide are already covered because in our state, the 300,000 or so public servants do have that right to choose whether they want to be in a union or not — and it has worked quite successfully for them.

So, like Sun Tzu he wins without a fight, the enemy too demoralized to act.

From 'distraction' to law: Scott Walker signs right-to-work bill

I took the signing story from a Progressive website. Even they cannot spin it as a negative against Walker, though they try. "It's like he's flip-flopped", they say. That sounds a lot like some FReepers who work hard to undermine a guy whose actions speak louder than his words.

Walker wins. He won because he knows how to play to win. As soon as it passed, he signed it. What's wrong with that?

Of all the candidates Walker reminds me the most of Reagan, minus ever being a liberal. He's strategic and his tactics reflect that.

Stop undermining Walker to push Cruz. It's embarrassing to you and a slap to Cruz, who will support Walker in the general or vice versa.
