^”Fascism” is a dictatorship controlled and run by CORPORATE INTERESTS, as defined by Benito- who “invented” it. Krupp, Fiat, Farben, those corporations ran “the government” under figurehead dictators. That’s why they hanged a few after Nurenburg. The slave labor they literally used, OUR corporate dudes only want slave wages and working conditions for “employees”, while those at the top take all the cream. Anyone who thinks Walker’s actions aren’t dictated by his corporate “bosses” is an idiot.
Under Gov. Walker’s plan, collective bargaining for state workers would be limited to base pay rate (and raises would generally be limited by the rate of inflation).
In a fact-check our colleagues at PolitiFact Wisconsin did regarding limiting labor negotiations to only wages, they quoted Candice Owley, president Wisconsin Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals, who said wages are only part of what’s important to nurses when they negotiate with hospitals.
“We spend very little time these days on wages and a whole lot of time on working conditions,” she said, such as seniority, schedules, the length of shifts, and what happens when a nurse is assigned to a different department.
Said Owley: “We bargain every kind of working condition imaginable.”
“Although there are some federal workers who have collective bargaining rights for benefits and pay, “most” do not. And so we rate his comment True.”

It isn’t just the unions, but all citizens, AND THE LAW! That big guffaw you hear is from Hitler’s grave.

I sure hope they have recall in Wisconsin. That guy has to go before he finishes giving away the public utilities to the brothers who own him.

Your comment is too sweeping.

The knife was not planted in the unions’ back.
It was up close and personal right in the chest.
No cowards on the governor’s mansion, only in the Democrat half of the State Senate.
Keep it up, Governor!

C’mon, Bill Ewing and other righties, tear him apart. Church? Disgusted?
Howie? You can’t wait until other states defy Reagan.
Tell us how wrong Reagan was.
Obviously Bill Ewing is not a Reagan “admiring Texan”.

I’d be more interested in how much the Koch brothers paid into the elect-Walker fund.
Of course, most of that was to get the no-bid state energy contracts handed to them.
The union busting is icing on the cake, and a successful diversionary tactic.

I’m looking forward to the recall on Walker and will be curious to see the turnout. I hope it’s huge.
