Former Republican Governor of Wisconsin Tommy Thompson, on working with Unions....

"In respect to state government, Wisconsin has collectively bargained with state employees for 25 years. By working together, we've created a positive atmosphere for state employees and enhanced services to our citizens (and) ensuring excellence in delivering services to our citizens.” -- Then-Gov. Tommy Thompson in 1997 speech to Puerto Rico House of Representatives.

Tommy's now a backer of Union-busting.
