2013 Labor Dept. filings show thousands of people fleeing the union shakedown. Bwhahaha. Breitbart is grinning ear to ear.

You know what I would find fascinating? A survey of all those Wisconsin militant leftist protestors who were also Union members and find out how many of them remain - voluntarily - in the Union they publicly professed such undying love for.

I wonder if they will suggest the dues paying members wear arm bands to show their solidarity?

More evidence that the only way the Left maintains its support is by force. When people are allowed to freely choose, they don’t want it.

A lot of those “Wisconsin” militant protestors were from Chicago.

That's how you advance conservatism: target the source of money and "volunteer" labor, cut it, and wait for it to bleed out.
The pattern is also being followed in Michigan, although the gap between right-to-work being enacted, and the date it became effective allowed too many unions to enact multi-year contracts that allows them to escape the effects for a long while.

By the way, what happened to the Great Chicago School shut down? It has dropped off the news radar.

A lot of those Wisconsin militant protestors were from Chicago. Don't doubt it. But now those Chicago militants will be stretched thinner, having to help out more in WI and MI.

I’m looking forward to it happening in Michigan as contracts run out.

That's exactly why I would love to see at least 2 or 3 states take up RTW at the same time to really throw them into chaos.

I wouldn’t count on the long contract extensions to save the unions. It was actually only a handful of school districts and colleges and there are already lawsuits pending from within and without.

Scott Walker is the Thatcher of Wisconsin.

Without those union dues being forcibly subtracted from their paychecks in advance, public sector employees are feeling a little bump in pay, eh?

Yes, and I am betting that now that they’ve seen that “their world” hasn’t come to an end, more will leave and take the pay raise. My other guess is that a lot of “union” members were there by way of threat and intimidation, and only needed the government to level the playing field for them to leave. There is going to be a bump in “unemployment of union goons” in the coming months. Oh what will FUBO do when his goons are out of work and out of money?
