Good ploy by the Republicans and very well played.
If the unions do call for a general strike and the strike happens, does the governor have the (a) right to terminate the strikers or (b) the cojones to terminate the strikers?
Ronnie Raygun did fire the PATCO employees on strike. He fired them because he said it was a threat to national security as well as federal government employees are prohibited by law from striking.
It will be interesting to see what Walker will do. There is no national security issue in Wisconsin and no state law about state government employees striking.
Even though I am a bleeding heart liberal, I am with the Republicans on this one.
