The complaint about fair pay is a lie anyway.
The governor is targeting collective bargaining on benefits, not salary.
The unions are smart enough to know that straight pay and benefits are really the same thing. Try to gore either ox and they're going to get really miffed.
..........and even worse, from the union's point of view, the state will no longer withhold union dues from employee pay checks. Depending on members to voluntarily pay dues will be the final death knoll for unions because as much as they love their union benefits, when they have to actually write a check every month, they will balk.
