Daniels took away collective bargaining for public sector employees when he first took office in an executive order. That may apply to teachers but I’m not sure about that.

I believe in 2005, Daniels reversed an EO that gave collective bargaining privileges to "highway police, hospital attendants, mechanics and some other state workers".

Other state workers, such as the Indiana teachers, weren't covered by the EO and they retained collective bargaining privileges.

Then, several weeks ago, Daniels backed off on his support of two bills, one which would have removed collective bargaining privileges for Indiana teachers and other state workers who weren't covered in the 2005 EO.

The other bill Daniels backed off on was the right-to-work bill.

Apparently, Daniels is now sucking up the unions, the media, and the RINO establishment, and in return, he gets his name mentioned as a possible presidential candidate.

Sickening.

IT is sickening. We need to back the Tea party pats who know what is what in Indiana.

Thanks for the additional information.
I knew he wasn’t for the right to work law, and some bills on social issues. He spoke out on some of them before the legislative session started.
To me, he does not act on principle, don’t even know if he has any principles. I’ve heard other stories about him and to me they all point to a lack of character or courage, or both.
The story here is going to end far differently than it did in Wisconsin, because Daniels is NO Scott Walker unfortunately.
