The biggest division between Barrett and Falk are the very unions that are at the center of the recall fight.
The state's largest public sector unions — including the statewide teachers union and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees — were quick to get behind Falk, who promised them she would veto any budget that doesn't restore collective bargaining powers. Barrett refused to make such a pledge.
"If you are serious about it, then you ought to say how you're going to get it done," Falk said. "It's not enough to say you're for collective bargaining. We've had a year now of Gov. Walker not being open, honest or transparent with the public. I have been open, honest and transparent."
Along with refusing to make the budget-veto promise, Barrett angered some unions by cutting Milwaukee's budget and supporting plans a couple of years ago that would have given him control of the troubled Milwaukee Public Schools.
