Yesterday the Massachusetts House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to limit the power of Big Labor in their state. The vote would limit collective bargaining rights of certain public employees over health care benefits. Legislators said the legislation would save financially strapped cities and towns millions of dollars.
The action by the Massachusetts state legislature sounds familiar to action taken by the Wisconsin state legislature last month. Which makes one wonder why Union Bosses Richard Trumka, Gerald McEntee and Mary Kay Henry are not organizing mass protests in Massachusetts?
