With the middle class shrinking, how on earth were working people in Wis. convinced to cut down other working people, to the joy of those that control these working people? As an old farm girl, I can see that the chickens are already coming home to roost about the lives of working people. In time we will see that union or nonunion, it will make no difference, this is bad for all working people. And sadly too many of us who are okay financially don't care about coming generations of working people.

My son was the last person hired for his job when there was a union. He is a full time employee with a decent wage, health benefits for his family and other benefits. How his fellow workers were convinced to leave the union, causing it to fold up, I cannot imagine. What pressure they must have been put under, there too it was a matter of turning worker against worker, to the betterment of the pockets of the company owners. What I learned from him is that now, EVERY employee who is hired is part time at minimum wage and NONE of them receive health benefits or any other benefit. This is building a strong America? We should be ashamed of what we are doing.
