Scott Walker's rollback of collective bargaining rights in the state was a "middle ground" considering some of his GOP colleagues' more aggressive stances against unions, according to a new video and a report in Salon. In the video, posted to YouTube Tuesday by a Wisconsin Democratic group, Fitzgerald says that Walker's attempt to strip public-sector workers of their collective bargaining rights "wasn't a shock," and that several lawmakers in his caucus hoped to turn Wisconsin into a right-to-work state.
