Scott Walker’s success in passing legislation curtailing the power of unions was a victory for those labor monopolies: “What [Walker and the GOP] have done is they have mobilized Democrats and the labor movement–Democrats in a way President Obama wasn’t able to in 2010, and the labor movement, as it’s never been mobilized before.”
