While the situation in Wisconsin continues to heat up, there has been too little examination by the media about what collective bargaining is and how it works when government unions are involved. After all, unlike in the private sector, no one at the bargaining table is negotiating with their own money, it’s taxpayer money that’s at stake.
We have put together a short video on collective bargaining which, along with our other recent videos on public unions, helps put the issue in perspective. And with a majority of union members now in government rather than the private sector, this is an important issue to understand.
