Today's topic was Resolved: The US should ban collective bargaining by public sector labor unions.
Collective bargaining refers to the process in which union representatives (such as the teachers union) negotiate for slaries, benefits, schedules, vacation days, etc. with their emplyoers. It is currently at the heart of a fierce debate in the state of Wisconsin. Generally Democrats are against this resolution while Republicans support a ban on collective bargaining.
It was an interesting topic to discuss. Personally I thought the Con side was favored with stronger moral contentions and strong rebuttals for anything the Pro threw at them. Still, an economic argument and possible corruption ideas did exist for the Pro.
...And now, the results:
In the Varsity division - Jeremy Wrubel and Petey Menz went 2-1, as did Mark Schwabacher and Jacob Meisel.
In Novice, Ryan Greenberg and Tory Scordato also went 2-1, with Ryan winning 2nd place best speaker in all of novice.
