On the Right to Collective Bargaining

I have never been a great supporter of labor unions in this modern times.  I have always viewed unions as a movement whose time has gone.  But the crisis in Wisconsin has changed my mind. A contract is betwen two parties. In the case of a labor contract, the employer and the employees, usually hourly employees whose individual bargaining powers are very limited. The employers can always dictate the level of compensation they want to pay these low level employees and in most cases tend to offer the lowest benefit package possible. The applicants on the receiveing end have very little choice. They need to put food on the table. They are vulnerable. Unions gave them a fighting chance.However, both parties have to come to an agreement before any contract can emerge. This brings up the issue of union bursting in public employees workforce. Who are these employees that the Republicans want to restrain? These employees do not have any bargaining power because of low level skill set. The exception are the teachers union members. These people provide vital services to ALL of the people of  their respective states. If they do not have a union to help in the labor negotiations, then who decides on the benefit package. You guessed it: politicians with their eye on the next election. Running a campaign on lowered taxes, lowered size of government is a guaranteed winner. The proportion of the public employees who need unions relative to the labor force in each state is in a decidedly minority.  Thus, we come to a situation where the majority benefits at the expense of the most vulnerable. Just like the corporate world where the managements focus on shareholders' wealth trumps the welfare of the low level employees.
To deny the employees the right to negotiate is unAmerican. This is the problem with the current political climate. NO NEGOTIATION. MY WAY OR NO WAY. PEOPLE PLEASE WAKE UP. LIFE IS NOTHING WITHOUT COMPROMISE.  What is happening in Wisconsin is a DICTATORSHIP IN THE MAKING.
