Ohio (and several other states, too, I'm pretty sure) currently has a bill being discussed regarding the collective bargaining issue. There have been protesters at the state capitol all week, so it's been a pretty big story here, locally.
But I have heard about Wisconsin in the news, too. Quite a situation, there, it seems. On one hand it is nice to see a state attempting to balance out it's budget deficit. But of course that is going to have a negative impact on somebody... And I don't think it's that unfair to do what the bill looking to do. I understand the point of unions and collective bargaining. And on the surface, they would seem fairly beneficial. But I feel like in some cases, unions have gotten a little out of control. That's what the bill seems to be working on. It's not completely removing unions at all. It's just putting a tighter reign on them, in hopes to keep them a little more under control.
