Forbes magazine on line is reporting the infamous Koch brothers are behind Scott Walker and his effort to attack unions in Wisconsin. The article alleges that the Koches are against all unions, not just public-sector unions.
I thank the Koches for making anti-unionism so obvious and so odious. This has made it much more likely such efforts will not succeed. No one should underestimate such efforts, of course. And with the Supreme Court run amok with the Citizens United decision, it is hard to predict just what will happen in the short term. Look for more labor unrest. If efforts to stop Walker in his tracks should be unexpectedly unavailing, there will be labor unrest on a scale not seen in our life-times. American history, when looked at carefully shows this.
