This seems to me to be a very well balanced piece from today's NY Times on the impact on Indiana's public employees of the end of collective bargaining there a few years ago. The state has benefitted, but there are some flaws for workers. Because Wisconsin has other laws to protect workers from some of the negatives in Indiana, the outcome might be less poor for Wisconsin's public employees.
How can a state pass laws prohibiting people to assemble and bargain. Isn't is fundamental right in a so called democracy. What are we moving towards, a one party autocracy, or are we becoming a nation ruled by autocrats?
Suppose, we have become selfish and lethargic when it comes to our rights. What next? Is there going to be law forcing everyone go to Church on Sunday?

How can a state pass laws, allowing my PRIVATE company, too be taken over against my will by a Union? I believe in merit pay for my best workers,not collective bargaining protecting the worst.
