Gov. Walker saying he will use 'divide and conquer' strategy against Unions.



Hendricks: Any chance we’ll ever get to be a completely red state and work on these unions 
Walker: Oh, yeah.


Hendricks: - and become a right-to-work (state)? What can we do to help you?


Walker: Well, we’re going to start in a couple weeks with our budget adjustment bill. The first step is, we’re going to deal with collective bargaining for all public employee unions, because you use divide and conquer. So for us the base we’ve got for that is the fact that we’ve got – budgetarily we can’t afford not to. If we have collective bargaining agreements in place, there’s no way not only the state but local governments can balance things out. So you think city of Beloit, city of Janesville, any of the school districts, that opens the door once we do that. That’s your bigger problem right there.
