If I was in Wisconsin I'd be there with the union members. This was very well said, Barbara. Thank you.

I was born in WI & proud to see the many museums & galleries that showed art throughout Milw. The work was avant guard & a better selection than what i could find in FL at the time. Art criticism aside, the point that all the union folks & those that support them are up in arms are trying to save is bargaining rights. This is the cornerstone of our freedom of speech & workers rights. I belonged to the teachers union & was not forced to join or pay. It was a goodsend for myself & other teachers when administration tried to get away with stuff that was unfair. As it is teachers work many hours overtime for free. We are stuck with all sorts of excuses for craming 35 plus kids in our classes, doing all sorts of things beyond the call of duty. Thank God for the teachers union. How folks can side with a group of political leaders that have consistently stripped our countries' workers of places of employment & allow businesses & taxes to leave the USA, trying
to dismantle the unions who have stood for the collective workers & are the workers, give tax breaks to millionaires & billionares while the poorest of the elderly don;t even get a cost of living increase for years & years, etc.,etc. is so beyond my ability to comprehend.
