re: #1 Buck

Actually it was Democratic President Jimmy Carter, backed by a Democratic Congress, that opposed public service unions in 1978 when he passed the Civil Service Reform Act.

The 1978 bill went even further than Walkers Bill as it focused on
worker accountability and performance. It severely proscribed the issues over which employees could bargain, as well as prohibited compulsory union support.

I know the facts hurt, but thanks to Jimmy Carter Washington, D.C. is, in the purest sense, a “right to work zone.”

Federal employees cannot collectively bargain for many issues including pay, and by law are not compelled to join a union, nor to pay union dues.
For all of their anti WI talk, neither Obama, nor the prior Democratic majority, ever even thought about changing those facts.

Well damn. I guess we should focus our attention and opposition to Jimmy Carter instead. I better notify the Wisconsin unions and the DNC.

Tu quoque. It’s what’s for breakfast.
