From the first article -

So state employees can no longer use union tactics to get inflated wages? And they no longer have to pay union dues if they don't want to be in the union? Sounds like a win win to me. The only union government employees should be accountable to are the tax payers.

First off, as a Liberal I am FOR Unions, as long as they are reasonable. Which has not been the case at times, considering the auto workers.

Yet, my wife was in the teachers union here, before she retired and that union has done more to effect bad education coming in only second behind sorry ass parents who don't have time to raise kids and motivate them to excel in school.

I don't believe in unions for public workers, period. Unions belong in private enterprise, IMO. So, I have no problem with what is occurring in Ws. We need to use this time when States are struggling to get rid of all of these unions that represent public workers, paid by tax dollars. Less lobbiests to contend with.
