Well the OP was about APA's support of Wisconsin government employees' collective bargaining rights. Someone blamed our current economic malaise on all unions and it went from there.
On a side note, the Governor of Wisconsin is not trying to eliminate all collective bargaining rights for public workers, just those for health care and benefits. They would retain the right to bargain for pay purposes.
