Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker plans to focus Monday on weakening labor by proposing to abolish unions for federal workers, create a national "right-to-work law" and eliminate the National Labor Relations Board.

At a Las Vegas manufacturer, he also plans to call for requiring all unions to hold periodic votes so workers can decide whether they should continue to exist, according to his campaign. He will also cancel President Barack Obama's Labor Day order that federal contractors provide paid sick leave and work to end policies requiring some salaried workers to receive overtime—saying in some cases they should get time off instead.

"It's time to address the problems with collective bargaining in public service rather than tinker around the edges. As president, I will work with Congress to eliminate big-government,federal unions on behalf of the American taxpayer."

..In 2011, just weeks after he became governor, Walker proposed all but eliminating collective bargaining for most public workers in Wisconsin. That sparked massive protests and prompted Senate Democrats to leave the state for three weeks in an attempt to block the legislation.

Walker and Republican lawmakers overcame that opposition and put the measure now known as Act 10 into law. Their opponents tried to recall Walker from office, but he survived the effort, becoming the first governor in American history to win a recall election..

At construction equipment maker Xtreme Manufacturing in Las Vegas, Walker also plans to propose:

Ending the ability of unions to require government workers in some states to pay fees to unions.

Banning the federal government from withholding union fees from workers' paychecks if they go toward political activities.

Barring caps that would prevent employees from being rewarded for exceptional work..

Establishing protections for union whistleblowers to protect them from retaliation.

Donald Trump didn’t stop the government conspiracy to replace the population of America with 3rd world dependents.

He’s a guy who talks pretty, but does nothing. He has self-reported his conservatism as starting in 2011. Why isn’t there a 4-5 year proof of it?

Where’s his donation to the Minute Men or other anti-illegal immigrant groups? How about within the last six months?

Nothing. Just like his words.

I’m confused; does that mean you’re in favor of right-to-work laws, or opposed to them because they get in the way of employer and employees negotiating? Because my reading of your statement leans toward the latter.
