Big Labor Fails Again In Wisconsin

Yesterday, big labor went down in flames, again in Wisconsin.  Their candidate, Democrat Kathleen Falk, who they spent millions on and who was supposed to unseat the sitting Governor, Republican Scott Walker in a June 6th recall election, lost by a margin of 58% to 34% in a primary battle against former Milwaukee Mayor, Democrat Tom Barrett.  Falk wasn't even close and Barrett is seen by the unions as being no different than Walker.   This is the second loss for big labor in Wisconsin.  Back in August of last year they spent millions to recall 3 state senators in what turned out to be another complete waste of money.

Yesterday and last year, just proved that the the labor unions haven't the clout they thought they had.  And, money, alone, isn't always the answer. For the rest of the Republican governors who are fighting excessive union demands, pay, and benefits, this victory should give them cause to press on with their labor reforms.   It showed that the voters are fed up with high pay and benefits for government union workers when, they themselves, are suffering with high unemployment and pay that is almost half that of government workers..
