The legislature is pushing this more so than Walker...although he has said he will sign it after sounding ambiguous at first.

He played it beautifully, so far anyway. There was no doubt the GOP legislature was going to pass a Right to Work law and Walker would have certainly known that, but by suggesting it wasn’t a priority he tossed leadership to the legislature. That was a good move because going into a Presidential election that has a lot of private union members angry at or frustrated with the Democrats and Obama, he now isn’t seen as someone leading the charge against unions. Yes, he’ll sign it, but he’s on record as not pressing for the bill to be brought up.
There are those who will consider that a flip-flop. It was smart politics, and more and more people seem to be coming around to the idea that he’s good with the politics after Iowa and his trips east. It looks like he got what he needed out of those poly-sci courses and it didn’t hurt him to pass on getting the degree.
Incidentally, some of the quotes in that article reflected total resignation on the part of the union members. He just keeps winning...
