[QUOTE="Rodger Tellefson, post: 956415, member: 54643"] Wis. gov. officially cuts collective bargaining By SCOTT BAUER, Associated Press Scott Bauer, Associated Press 42 mins ago MADISON, Wis. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker succeeded Friday in taking away nearly all collective bargaining rights from the vast majority of the state's public employees, quietly capping weeks of contentious debate and delivering an epic defeat to the labor movement with a private bill signing. Walker planned to hold a ceremonial signing later in the day. The proposal touched off a national debate over labor rights for public employees, and its implementation is a key victory for Republicans who have targeted unions in nationwide efforts to slash government spending. But labor leaders said they plan to use the setback to fire up their members nationwide and mount a major counterattack against Republicans at the ballot box in 2012. The measure passed the state's Assembly on Thursday following more than three weeks of protests that drew tens of thousands of people to the Capitol in opposition. The Senate cleared the way for passage with a surprise move Wednesday that allowed them to move the measure forward without 14 Democratic senators present. [/QUOTE]
