if those benefits are so great...give them to every worker or give them to none.

that's fine. If 'every worker' chooses to work where those benefits are offered, that's up to them, right? .. Let's see the STATE and the unions negotiate a contract, right ?.. BOTH SIGN the contract...Now if you want to break that contract .. that's fine. See you in court. This is being done all across the US today as we speak ...

Don't worry about pensions/benefits AGREED TO IN NEGOTIATIONS or Social Security for that matter, if the Repubs take control and put Paul Ryan's budget into practice they will disappear.
It's a mystery to me why those without a college degree and cannot easily find good-paying jobs anymore are so willing to vote against their own interest - Scott Walker lost the college-educated vote, he won the vote of those with no college education.
