Big Labor Bosses Getting Nervous?
Big Labor bosses in Wisconsin are getting nervous. You can sense it from this Associated Press story lamenting that the unions may have bite off more than they can chew by attemtping to recall Gov. Scott Walker. AP quotes Greg Junemann, boss of the Professional and Technical Engineers union as saying “If we lose, it’s a shot in the mouth. We can survive it, but we’ll be reeling.”

Good question. Now you know the stakes.
