Basically, unions raise the standard of living for workers in industries where historically they have been exploited. It's not about holding down exceptional employees, rather about bringing everyone up. Teachers already get paid so little, so imagine what their wages would be like if they weren't unionized.
Granted, for every article in support of unions, there's one against them. It's a hot topic, and I'm glad it's getting national coverage.
Unions are a big thing in America; I don't know why Walker thought he could so callously dismiss them. Did he really think there wouldn't be a fight? Maybe he should go back to college and finish the degree he abandoned after completing only 36 credit hours. I suggest he pay more attention during those history and political science classes.
Yes, I'm bitter. Because I finished MY goddamn degree. :)
