Negotiate contracts to say you must pay dues to get or keep your job. it is that simple. alisyn: why didn t the president take this up two years ago when wisconsin was battling over collective bargaining which some say was a much more significant issue than just the union dues? well, maybe we ll give him a little bit of credit and say it was a state issue but this is state issue too. i think what transpired is an election. politically he understand out there debating public sector unionism, government sector unionism more appropriately is not a winning issue because the problems in wisconsin will manifest themselves across the country here. that was just the beginning of that fight. this right to work fight is purely about an individual worker s right to choose and that s a different issue all together. alisyn: the president also said yesterday, and i will quote him again, he sort of made a joke or punch line out of this, what they re really talking about is giving you the right to w ....
