Walker: End Federal Employee Unions

GOP presidential aspirant Gov. Scott Walker is proposing doing away with unions for federal workers, and making unionization for workers at other levels of government more difficult. And he proposes a national right-to-work law for all states which do not subsequently vote to permit union shops, plus scrapping the NLRB. See the Associated Press story at Yahoo News.

That platform should get people talking about Walker, perhaps in the same breath as Trump. COTTonLINE supports Walker's intent to get unions out of governmental workplaces, where they never should have been permitted. If workers in private enterprise want to organize, I'm okay with that. Government workers are so protected by civil service regulations they have no need for unions.
