know what the word “collective” means? Because his column about the Republicans’ alleged drive to decrease the collective rights of workers and increase those of corporations does not include a single example of the latter.

P.S. This was sort of amusing. “If we are upset at the outcome of an election, we don’t take away the right to vote of those who defeated us; or limit their speech. If a trial results in an outcome we are not satisfied with, we don’t eliminate the capacity of the opposing the party to call witnesses. So why the rush to alter the rights of the workers?” No, obviously the thing to do when an election upsets us is to shut down the legislature. And the thing to do when an op-ed writer angers us is to make intimidating phone calls from the attorney general’s office. That’s what political propriety demands.
