Chile has squelched a constitutional amendment affording public employee
unions collective bargaining rights and a "right" to strike. Even some of the
lefties who dominate the senate didn't want to touch it. Perhaps the thugs at
work in Wisconsin have tarnished the supposed "right" to collective bargaining
for public employees.
In any event, Chile has dragged itself up from the third world to the first in
the last three decades by promoting economic freedom and free trade. And Chile
is holding on to the keys to its success: "On global economic freedom
rankings, Chile stands near the top -- in part because its public employees
can't run up debt or corrupt the political process. The existing constitution
makes Chile a full right-to-work country and expressly prohibits government
collective bargaining and public employee strikes."

press: "Clarity in Chile."
