Republicans in the Wisconsin Senate voted Wednesday night to strip nearly all collective bargaining rights from public workers after discovering a way to bypass the chamber's missing Democrats.

Wonder what "nearly" means? Would like to read the bill.

Don't think this has changed from the original bill. They can still bargain for wages only but not vacation, school year, hours, etc. A HUGE win for sane Americans. And I also heard that the payroll deductions for union dues will go away, making union members remit payment on their own.

This was explained right at the beginning of this saga. The bill still allows collective bargaining for wages, and police and firefighter unions are exempt from the bill entirely.
