As I read the public sector labor laws

Finally in 1959, the State passed the nation’s first comprehensive public employee bargaining law, Section 111.70, which provided the right of collective bargaining to public employees, and also required municipalities, school districts the university system and other public entities to bargain with the unionized workers.  Primer on labor law

The law repealed  required government agencies but the new law gives government agencies  the choice. Why is this not considered a restoration of voter rights? The Wisconsin legislature repealed their version of the Dills Act, which also requires voters to engage in collective bargaining agreements.

Granting special access to government agencies by specified groups is not a right. 

Here we have Yves Smith calling collective bargaining requirements a right. What is her point? Show solidarity with labor? Twist the language?  Dunno?
