The Dems have been salivating over the "dues" they would be collecting from union expansion (Obamacare/homecareworkers/IRS enforcers/homeland security/etc).

They are taking the idea of Walker's work in Wisconsin expanding nationally, very very seriously.

Without the money and muscle of unions, the Democratic Party is greatly weakened and their employees are not compelled to join or to pay "dues."

Gov. Walker's proposal to eliminate the NLRB has them hitting back.

The Bolshies will be defeated in the House and Senate, and, Obummer will implement it.

Hillary Accused Scott Walker of ‘Bullying.’ A Few Hours Later, He Hit Back With a Blistering Comment

May 2, 2015: With membership now voluntary, Wisconsin AFSCME forced into big cutbacks

"Governor Scott Walker and the GOP-controlled state legislature freed government employees from involuntary forced union membership, enabling them to choose or not choose to pay dues. The results have shown that roughly two-thirds have not chosen union membership when given the opportunity. And that has meant big cutbacks for the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), one of the most left wing and biggest political contributors to Democrats among American unions.......

[SNIP]

.....Keep in mind that AFSCME [American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees] was founded in Wisconsin, the state that was the birthplace of the Progressive political movement. Thus, the rejection of forced union membership is doubly painful. And it is already painful for the union bosses:........"

....No mention is made of political donations by the unions, but in the past AFSCME has been a major source of money and manpower for the Democrats. That racket is now ending for workers in Wisconsin, and one of Scott Walker’s strongest appeals will be to extend these reforms nationwide."

Uphill Battle. Americans have had ENOUGH. I know PLENTY of Blue-Collar Dems that would rather have their union dues in their own pockets.

The fleecing of American workers ends now. :)

Dems answer Walker with MORE UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL ACTS.

Walker is right on target: abolish the unconstitutional National Labor Relations Act and the NLRB.

Which candidate will put the CONSTITUTION in the middle of federal government issues? The political key to a rebirth of freedom in America is the REINSTATEMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST THE FEDS. A FREE America is a GREAT America.

Donald Trump, are you listening?

Even solid Dem majorities under Jimmy Carter were unable to update the Labor Relations Act.
