Collective Bargaining Moves Forward
April 24th, 2008 at 07:39pm Geraldine
All signs are positive that Governor Culver will sign the collective bargaining bill that will give public employees the same rights as those in the private sector. Iowa Progress previously commented on this bill before and Culver’s reluctance to sign it-although perhaps displaying the some of the same pique that the post attributes to Chet. What is clear is that the bill is a good piece of legislation that will help all Iowans.
Culver has been a good governor so far and shown notable leadership on issues such as stem cell research. While his equivocation on this issue was less than admirable, what matters is that he is coming down on the right side at the end of the day and will ensure that Iowa’s public employees get a fair deal.

I hope he signs this bill. It sounds like a good idea.
But I feel that the way the legislative leadership brought this up relatively late in the session, trying to slip in a 14-page amendment with almost no debate, was less than ideal. It made it look like they couldn’t make a case for this bill in broad daylight and were trying to sneak it in when no one was paying attention
The way this measure was introduced gave the Republicans a great excuse to whine to a corporate media that’s never sympathetic to collective bargaining anyway.
I never thought Culver was seriously thinking about vetoing this bill. I think he was trying to distance himself from the way legislators brought it up, and frankly, I can’t blame him.
