It’s no less than Tyranny for those workers—especially those who disagree with the union’s politics and political donations. Walker’s turning off the coerced dues is no less than Liberty for them.

No American should support coerced dues—unless the union is prohibited from politics completely.

Thanks rellimpank.
...the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees District Council 48... has gone from more than 9,000 members and income exceeding $7 million in 2010 to about 3,500 members and a deep deficit... Walker inherited a budget mess from the administration of former Gov. Jim Doyle... Walker needed to get control of spiraling health care benefits... the governor exempted police and firefighter unions from the act's strictures. Public safety workers often are the biggest cost for municipalities. Those unions, not surprisingly, were supporters of the governor.
