However, Fuller added, 'I can't even imagine that the governor or anybody else would think that's a viable option. It would not look like the United States, if we did that. No one said anything to me about anything like that.' Fuller also says the union is opposed to the governor's proposals to strip public unions of their collective bargaining rights. State troopers won't be losing their right to collective bargaining under the bill, although some members of two other police agencies the union represents will.
It would not look like the US we imagine when we see ourselves as a beacon of democracy, a shining example for the world. However, it would look a lot like the US at its worst -- Kent State -- not to mention the historical struggles of labor and the progressive movement.
