Mike Elk, a regular Working In These Times contributor, offered his answer to that question this week on the RT network’s Alyona Show during a feisty exchange with Christopher Prandoni, the executive director of the Alliance for Worker Freedom.

Elk and Prandoni sparred over public workers unions’ (lack of) connection to the revenue crises wreaking havoc on state finances around the country.
