Better start now then wait for all the country to be bankrupt, or a new false-flag is pulled, or a new war started, or the dollar collapse... let's start it now.
It's not quite over yet, they still need democrats in the senate to pass it.

Agreed. Unions became mostly obsolete long ago when minimum wage was established and equal opportunity laws were put into place. I have been a member of several unions, not by choice mind you, and they did nothing but take my money. They did nothing to prevent hostile work environments or help me or any of my co-workers if supervisors became unreasonable.

Hi there! I think what this governor is doing is WRONG however with that said we do need some change within the unions.My biggest gripe is the tenor the teachers get.....We have thousands of good teachers and probably just as many may be more horrible teachers and they CANT get fired.....They get to do what they want and collect big money and THEN a huge pension when they retire and that's DISGUSTING.....
The chancellor of schools in Washington DC tried to get the union to give up tenor for teachers in exchange for raising the pay of GOOD teachers and they said NO.....She wanted to be able to fire the bad ones if they didn't change and the union wanted no part in it....
