Poll: 61% oppose limiting union bargaining power
By Dennis Cauchon, USA TODAY

The public strongly opposes laws taking away the collective bargaining power of public employee unions as a way to ease state financial troubles, according to a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll.

The poll found that 61% would oppose a law in their state similar to one being considered in Wisconsin, compared with 33% who would favor such a law.

Ohio and several other states that have new Republican governors and legislative majorities are considering laws that would reduce the power of government employee unions to bargain over benefits and work rules.

Wisconsin is the first state to consider the limits, prompting protests that have closed schools and drawn tens of thousands of protesters to the state Capitol in Madison...

The right wingers seem to be very, very good at successful distractions.

this is going to cripple the RATpubliCONs

And if so, it appears to be backfiring a bit on them...

Good post!

They always lean right, so this is good news. Maybe some union repubs will finally wake up that what we have been telling them for the last decade is true. Repubs want to break unions and middle class - just for cheap labor and working environs.
