We have to remember that collective bargaining could cover a host of things. Gov. Walker, in Wisconson, continued to allow collective bargaining by the public unions on WAGES, but he cut off the bargaining on benefits, pensions, etc. It was the benefits, continued into perpetuity that were causing the problems for the State, not the wages.

Has anyone asked Mr. Cain SPECIFICALLY about bargaining for benefits, as opposed to wages?

Public employees of any kind should not be allowed as thug empires. I can accept public employees making a united case for some purpose that will pass the test of public opinion.
