I ran for office because I felt that Act 10 shouldn't have been the law SWA stepped up in 2012 and ran for the state assembly to that point. Act 10 opens the door for bargaining, for negotiating. And that will be a negotiation. You know, I can't say for sure where the negotiations will land, but I do think it's fair that people should be able to negotiate workplace conditions. (17:37–17:41)
