We all saw what happened in Wisconsin when Governor Walker attacked collective bargaining rights. While his law passed, one million signatures were collected to recall him and he will face a stiff challenge later this year. Ohio's Governor passed his own anti-collective bargaining law and the voters repealed it in a referendum last November.
The attacks continue.
In Michigan this week, four bills attacking organized labor (including teacher unions) were introduced in their state House one of which is an attempt to stop paycheck dues deductions, which even the state's association of school board's opposed.
Indiana recently passed a series of laws limiting collective bargaining and attacks public employees and their benefits.
Arizona may be taking this to a whole new level. A series of bills was recently introduced in their legislature that attacks collective bargaining rights for all public employees, not just teachers. Beyond banning the right for unions to collectively bargain, it would make it illegal for payroll dues deduction to take place. This follows up the the pay raise Arizona's governor offered state workers in return for giving up their due process rights.
Don't forget our union brothers and sisters who are in these immense struggles to protect their rights to organize and bargain.
