Walker’s Win: Major Public Employee Unions To Lose Official Status
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's (R) legislation stripping public employee unions of most collective bargaining rights, and imposing new restrictions on their organization, is set to have its logical conclusion on Thursday -- when the major state employee unions officially decline to seek recertification.
As the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports, today is the deadline for unions to file petitions seeking a recertification election, and to pay a fee to the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission. And that is a process upon which the larger unions are not embarking, with only a few locals thus far taking on the challenge. The unions can continue to exist, but will lose many important advantages of certification.
