[QUOTE="hubrat, post: 811694, member: 869"] Congratulations - you lose. "For the record, I'd happily take a deal wherein the collective bargaining rights of public workers were weakened but private workers were given card check and the other labor-law reforms needed to create some semblance of fair elections. But that deal is not on the table. For a variety of reasons -- some relating to international competition, some to the changing nature of the American economy, some relating to political decisions -- private-sector unions have been all but destroyed in recent decades. In fact, it's the opposite of the deal on the table, which, [B][COLOR="red"]by weakening public-sector unions, would accelerate the destruction of private-sector unions[/COLOR][/B]." from: [URL="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2011/02/you_cant_separate_public_and_p.html"]http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2011/02/you_cant_separate_public_and_p.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
