Four Excellent Pieces
First, of course, is Sam Dillon’s examination of the education component of the so-called stimulus plan in the New York Times.
Second is an in-depth analysis of the clout of public sector unions in New Jersey by Bob Ivry of NorthJersey.com.
Third is the latest in the civil war between SEIU and the United Healthcare Workers-West by Jessie Muldoon on SocialistWorker.org.
Fourth is the not-entirely-unexpected hypothesis that the California Teachers Association’s proposed sales tax initiative might – yet again (see item #2 here) - not really be headed for the ballot, by John Wildermuth of the San Francisco Chronicle.
