Destroying collective bargaining, which means destroying the unions would be a huge win for Republicans. Democrats would lose support from unions, a big deal. It would also allow large corporations that employ blue collar workers to push wages down to meet foreign competition, another big win for Republicans.
Best wait to see what the recall petitions bring about before stating that no one lost their job.
WE WON WE WON WE WON!!!
I'll be passing the one around to recall that bloated fleebagging dicknose, Bob Jauch.Best wait to see what the recall petitions bring about before stating that no one lost their job.

Destroying collective bargaining also allows states and local government to cut the biggest part of their budget, public education and make no mistake, they will do so. This again serves Republicans. They have made it quite clear that they want to see public education replaced with private schools funded by tuitions and government vouchers for the poor.
Destruction of collective bargaining is not about solving a temporary budget problem. It is about a permanent shift in political power and a major change in American society.
In response to those who dance on the Unions grave...
I'm not sure anyone can claim victory here. (But that's a cute dancing icon anyhow...)
Did busting union right get your job back? (I mean "your job" as a collective, not a specific reference). Busting the unions is not likely to accomplish that. Your job did not get up and walk away by itself. It's gone mostly because it was shipped overseas by billionaires like David and Charles Koch, the same folks who put Gov Walker in power. Your job was not worth his time to save, because David Koch can hire six employees overseas to replace you.

That is exactly correct. The unions in government have been negotiated against disinterested third parties for years. The Unions are greedy and the opposing negotiators have no skin in the game.
As a result, teachers earn 42% more than their USA co-workers in the private sector.
Let's look at this a different way. Our 12th grade students rank right behind The Czech Republic in Test Scores internationally. The average American teacher is paid $4,055/month. The average Czech Republic Teacher is paid $681/month.
So our teacheers are paid about 6 times as much to produce an inferior result. What may we gleen from this?
Academic Failure - International Test Scores - Poor TIMSS Results
Teacher Average Salary Income - International Comparison

So, just to be clear, the good folks who are assembling Hondas, Toyotas and Subarus right here here in the USA are people who are dupes of big business? These are non-union folks who build a quality product and do so for less money making their superior product less costly for the consumer.
The evil rich folks exported jobs overseas say the hypnotized automatons of the left. In the mean time, the union members produce inferior products that are more costly and spend most of their time trying to figure out how to screw the supervisor and work the system.
The people who actively work to make the product less competitive see their jobs go to people who actively work to make their product more competitive. Then, the union guys who strive to make their value go down complain when the producers find that there is higher value elsewhere.
What's wrong with this picture?
Just look how the union thugs handled the situation with a mass riot in the capital building for days on end turning it into a pigpen.
If the Tea Party had done the same the media would have been all over them.
When the union heads turn into thugs you got to bust the unions. Walker is a hero.
These idiots in the union get paid by the taxpayers and the taxpayers are broke. Look at this goofball Michael Moore saying the state and the U.S. is not broke. What planet does he live on?

That statement right there makes me think you are either David Koch or Sam Walton.
