a stroke of genius for the Democrats, making the cost of union dues, net zero!

(and yes, they would once again be automatically withdrawn from paychecks.)


State Republicans are howling in pain....

but recall, the governor at the time, Rick Schneider, promised not to sign any 'right to work' legislation--
but later conveniently changed his mind.


I don't want to hear any Republican bullshit about "naked political power grabs"--
they are the ones who taught us how to play the game!!!!
