The Ed Show: "Mitt Romney calls Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker "a hero." In his campaign speech, Romney presented a platform right out of the Scott Walker playbook. But new jobs numbers show Wisconsin failing while neighboring states prosper.":

"Let's get one thing straight...
Employers and Corporations did not feel generous and decide to give you two days off every week to have a social/personal life. (We now call them weekends). Corporations did not just feel like being nice one day and give their employees paid vacations. CEOs didn't get together in a board room and say "Let's give our employees more rights at work" or "Maybe there should be laws to limit our power over an employee".

Virtually ALL the benefits you have at work, whether you work in the public or private sector, all of the benefits and rights you enjoy everyday are there because unions fought hard and long for them against big business who did everything they could to prevent giving you your rights. Many union leaders and members even lost their lives for things we take for granted today."
