AP Press story.
The legislation also includes a section that would allow public workers to opt out of joining unions and limit their collective bargaining to wages only, a huge departure from the extensive public sector collective bargaining that has gone on in Wisconsin for decades. The provision would mean the 175,000 or so people who work for the government at any level - teachers, computer technicians, spokespeople, accountants - would no longer be able to negotiate the length of shifts, vacations, sick days and discipline processes, among other things.
But Walker made sure the bill doesn’t extend to local police, firefighters or state troopers. They would go on negotiating their contracts as usual.
Is Gov Walker another of those subversive Republican Communists, like Eric Cantor?
