Why Wisconsin Matters - 2012 Elections

Howard Fineman writes about "The Real Political Math in Wisconsin" in HuffPo:

The GOP strategic aim is simple enough. If they can abolish union collective-bargaining rights, they can undermine the automatic payment of dues to the public-employee union treasuries. Shrinking those treasuries and reducing the union structure and membership will make it harder for Democrats and their allies to communicate directly with workers.

Pretty simple strategy: divide and conquer. Cutting collective bargaining will gut public service unions.
