The vast majority did not. Furthermore, the numbers supporting Barrett were substantially larger.

"Executive director Jim Palmer said the statewide organization is much larger than the local Milwaukee police union that endorsed Walker. The state group has approximately 11,000 members versus Milwaukee’s roughly 1,400, he said.

Similarly, the state firefighters association has more than 3,000, compared with the Milwaukee union’s 875."

PolitiFact

The unions overwhelmingly endorsed Barrett. Everyone knows that.

The Unions as a whole may have overwhelmingly supported Barret, but its FAR closer than that when you look at the Unions that are exempt. The Police and Firefighter Unions were a mixed bag, the large State Troopers Union backed Walker. Virtually every Union that supported Walker is exempt from this, yet they also make more $$$ and have higher pensions than the teachers.
