From New York Times?

The New York Times is the establishment’s cheerleaders for Big Labor causing us to rub our eyes in disbelief over an article today that quoted Wisconsin union members supporting Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s efforts to reform the state’s out of control spending:

Rich Hahan worked at the General Motors plant here until it closed about two years ago. He moved to Detroit to take another G.M. job while his wife and children stayed here, but then the automaker cut more jobs. So Mr. Hahan, 50, found himself back in Janesville, collecting unemployment for a time, and watching as the city’s industrial base seemed to crumble away.

Among the top five employers here are the county, the schools and the city. And that was enough to make Mr. Hahan, a union man from a union town, a supporter of Gov. Scott Walker’s sweeping proposal to cut the benefits and collective-bargaining rights of public workers in Wisconsin, a plan that has set off a firestorm of debate and protests at the state Capitol. He says he still believes in unions, but thinks those in the public sector lead to wasteful spending because of what he sees as lavish benefits and endless negotiations.

“Something needs to be done,” he said, “and quickly.”

As this debate plays out, it seems clear that when it comes to government workers unions President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was right
