Hardly, most people in WI are not part of unions.

A temporary Christmas worker for a few weeks and the union took all his money.

Do you think that is fair ?

Wisconsin will become the 25th State to have Right to Work Laws. People can still join Unions if they choose, but they won't be forced into doing so. Unions brought this on themselves with over-reach.

It's been amazing to see what Wisconsin and Scott Walker have accomplished. The main thing was breaking the strangle-hold of the Public Sector Unions. Public Sector Unions have become destructive.

For those that support unions....why do you support this?

Hundreds of New York City public school teachers accused of offenses ranging from insubordination to sexual misconduct are being paid their full salaries to sit around all day playing Scrabble, surfing the Internet or just staring at the wall, if that's what they want to do.
New York Teachers Paid To Do Nothing: 700 Of Them

The Department of Education pays about 1,500 teachers for time they spend on union activities — and pays other teachers to replace them in the classroom.

Actually the teachers are better off today because they were able to shop around for health insurance and got cheaper rates than what was previously forced on them by the union.

It's good to see that freedom is coming to the people of Wisconsin. They won't be required to join a mob and pay protection money just to work for an employer.

Democrats always talk about being for an individual's rights, until it comes to unions, at which point you don't have the right to choose to be in a union or not.
