If you have an argument, post it. If you just do not like a poster, go open a thread in The BBQ Pit. [/Moderating] ---

[quote=“Shodan, post:60, topic:686624”] Because it is more important that they not go on strike, and since their legal opportunities to go on strike has been limited in Wisconsin since 1971. ([Cite](http://scholarship.law.marquette.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2261&context=mulr) - pdf.)/QUOTE] I seem to be suffering from a lack of imagination as I cannot see how expanding the breadth of what one can collectively bargain for results in a lessening of the chance of a strike. It would, on first blush, seem to me that the opposite would hold true. The more which is under the umbrella of collective bargaining would increase the opportunity for disagreement and a strike situation.
