"...this system of education is being destroyed by the removal of the rights of teachers to use collective bargining." ~ GUEST,murrbob

Total bunk.

Wisconsin has been the center of media coverage on this issue, and at no point has their governor or legislature said anything about ending collective bargaining about salary, working conditions or other grievances. They are asking the union teachers to pay 5.8% of their pension cost in the future. They now pay nothing toward their own pensions and get over 75% of salary at retirement, all from taxpayer money. Medical plan contribution should be going up from about 6% to about 12%.

One of the out-of-state union activists was screaming that the governor had "set civil right back 150 years!" Hyperbolic crap like that make Joe Sixpack turn off the news and side with the governor.
