You've seen the illegal action taken by the teachers, think that should happen with police and fire?

Nazi/Fascist regime hasn't taken over yet whereby people have no longer the right to strike.

But, my question was, why are police and fire unions being exempted? Too inconvenient? The teachers are an easier target?

Yes, it is a terrible idea to look beyond "an article". So, here we go...

Article 2, me 0. Does that make you happy?

Oh, so this is more of that posturing, and some kind of (only a) threat? So, how long does it take for a state trooper to get to someone's residence?

Why would the state try to do anything to a local police or fire department? The teachers work for the state, the local police and FD don't..

Wonder if the Governor has any power to enact a law to fire the Dumb er...Dem Reps who fled the state and basically are refusing to do their job? Or can they enact a law which enables an override of the law that requires at least one Dem be there to vote?

The teachers are engaging in an illegal strike - written in their contract.

Another question is why the Fire Union is supporting the protesters? Could they have some concerns about the Govs overstepping?
