Both states have Republican majorities in their statehouses and a GOP governor. And both are passing anti-union legislation.
In Wisconsin, Governor Scott Walker and the GOP legislators went after public sector unions and passed laws that limited collective bargaining rights.
In Indiana, Governor Mitch Daniels and the GOP have set their sights on private sector unions. Daniels just signed a “Right to Work” bill into law. This measure prohibits private sector workplaces from requiring workers to pay dues or other fees to join a union. Indiana is the twenty-third state to adopt this type of legislation, but the first state in the Rust Belt. It’s been more than a decade since a state has passed such a law.
