Walker Crippled Unions in Wisconsin

“The anti-union law passed here four years ago, which made Gov. Scott Walker a national Republican star and a possible presidential candidate, has turned out to be even more transformative than many had predicted,” the Washington Post reports.

“Walker had vowed that union power would shrink, workers would be judged on their merits, and local governments would save money. Unions had warned that workers would lose benefits and be forced to take on second jobs or find new careers.”

“Many of those changes came to pass, but the once-thriving ­public-sector unions were not just shrunken — they were crippled.”
