Tipping Point New Mexico Episode 640: David Osborne – The Battle for Worker Freedom: Grading State Public Sector Labor Laws

On this week’s interview Paul talks to David Osborne of the Pennsylvania-based Commonwealth Foundation. Osborne is Senior Fellow of Labor Policy and helped author the recent report “The Battle for Worker Freedom: Grading the 50-states public sector labor laws.”  Unsurprisingly New Mexico does not fare very well in the report with a “D-” ranking overall.
