Public employee unions should be given the choice between keeping their unions and keeping civil service protections, not both.

Even then, the employer shouldn't be forced to hire only union members and collect dues.

If the union is providing a worthwhile service, then the members will willingly pay the dues.

I wonder how many union members would tell their unions to go pound sand if given the choice.

When the right to work is put ahead of the right to collective bargaining, then I will believe that unions are serious about worker's rights.

The employer is not forced to hire only union members, The State of WI hires contractors working through staffing agencies and tell the public that they are saving money. What actually happens is that the wages paid to the Contracting agency far exceeds the wages and benefits that a State employee makes, often multiple times what a State employee is making.

Let’s really save the State of WI money and allow contractors to become State employees.
