This fellow "Tomahawk Dave" that I met in Saskatoon last summer is one of those union workers from Wisconsin. He is pointing to the tag that workes, like him initial when they complete the saddle bags. He hadn't worked on my bikes bags, but knew who did.
The chemicals that he uses daily at the Harley Davidson fiberglass and paint shop, if used without protection, would kill you in short order. But thanks to workplace safety rules brought about by collective bargaining, not only was Tomahawk Dave still alive he was able to enjoy another collective bargaining benefit that I was enjoying, also. Holiday.
scott walker republican Governor of Wisconsin, wants to do away with collective bargaining, claiming the State is bankrupt. I guess he thinks if he could do away with unions, and workplace rules, that the State coffers would be overflowing.
But the union workers of Wisconsin didn't bankrupt the state by going to work everyday. The Fireman and School Teachers of Wisconsin did not cause the banks to fail. Union workers all across America did not cause the housing market to crash
