People are beginning to notice that they made a mistake last November. Maine's Tea Party GOP Gov. Paul LePage says he wants to take the Imperial Walker approach in Maine to eliminate unions and make the Pine Tree State "right-to-work".
Maine Gov. Paul LePage said Saturday he would push forcefully ahead with right-to-work legislation in his state, even if it means a Wisconsin-style fight with unions.
In an interview at the National Governors Association, the Republican praised Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and couched his own proposal in the language of liberty loved by tea partiers.
"He's got a big challenge, and quite frankly, once they start reading our budget they're going to leave Wisconsin and come to Maine because we're going after 'right to work,'" LePage told POLITICO.
They're not just going after public unions folks, they are going after all unions, all collective bargaining, all worker's rights to serve their corporate masters. Whatever you personally think about unions, keep in mind what they have accomplished in this country over the decades. The GOP wants to get rid of labor laws, period.
Why should workers have any rights, they figure. If you're a good worker, you can go where you want to and people will fight over hiring you. If that's not the case, then why haven't you started your own small business yet?
You're next. Remember that.
