To ANYONE who says they never saw this coming hasn’t been paying attention since Walker first got into office. Regardless of the what any RW media has been telling the people. This has been bearing down on WI workers like a freight train in a very visable way.

I think it’s incredibly ironic that, right next door, the state of MN is experiencing a strong economy with good paying jobs. (A BLUE state). I expect that more and more RW WI employers will find that they can’t get good, experienced workers because many are working in MN.

Welcome to Dixie, Wisconsin. Minnesota is willing to take possession of Bob La Follette’s mortal remains after Gov. Scott’s airbrushing squad has him expunged from Badger State history.

Scott Walker and his rubber-stamp legislature, moving Wisconsin…backward in to the 19th century. Next up; repealing child labor laws. Heckuva job, Badgers! Soon you will rival Alabama and Mississipi in being worst in the country.

“said the bill was about giving workers the freedom to choose whether to pay union dues.”

Then couple it with a provision that allows Unions the freedom to choose not to represent those that don’t pay union dues, instead of forcing them to provide service free of charge. But we all know that freedom isn’t what this is really about.
