Is it true that Barrett in WI said that he wouldn't push to overturn and repeal the Walker anti-union laws? And if true, what the fuck was the point of the recalls?

(19,497 posts)Barrett and Falk both say restoring collective bargaining will be a top priority if they're elected governor. However, they say the other's plan won't work.
Barrett argues there are several ways to restore the privilege of collective bargaining, including calling a special legislative session to force a vote on the issue.
"I think there will be members of the (State) Assembly that are Republicans who are going to look at that and say the landscape is a lot different than it was in March 2011," said Barrett, arguing there are even Republicans who would vote differently if they had another chance to do so.
Falk, on the other hands, says there's only one way to undo what Walker did. She has pledged, as governor, to veto any budget that does not immediately restore collective bargaining for all public employees.
"The only tool that a governor has to exercise is that veto power," said Falk.
"That's why it's important to elect a governor who is willing to go to the mat to restore collective bargaining," she added.
