ReplyDeleteYesterday, I pointed out that NONE of the democratic recall candidates mention restoring collective bargaining on their websites. Vicki McKenna was evidently listening because she picked up on this and brought up a point that I painfully agree with: the democrats are afraid to run on restoring collective bargaining for public employees.
These recall candidates are getting terrible, terrible advice. I have no doubt that all of the recall candidates support collective bargaining but that is not enough. They must pledge to put forth legislation to restore workers rights as soon as they are elected. If Republicans aren't ashamed of their corporate takeover of state government, why should Democrats be ashamed of living wages and workers having a voice in the workplace?
