The Right to Choose

Governor Walker has given the public employee the right to choose...  whether or not to be in the union. In a signal that the Supreme Court Justice election recount must actually be happening somewhere close to legally, some of the larger unions are talking about giving up and not trying to re-certify.

Here's what it always came down to:  "Under Walker's legislation, public employers could no longer collect membership dues on behalf of unions and workers would no longer have to pay dues to unions if they decline to do so. All that leaves little incentive for unions to keep their official status, Kennedy said."  The right to choose, aka freedom, was the thing the union leaders were always so upset about.  Everything else aside, letting public employees decide for themselves was always unacceptable.  In America.  Go figure.
