MADISON, Wis (Reuters) – Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker said on Friday he was canceling the layoff warning notices he sent late last week to public sector unions after lawmakers approved his proposal to restrict the collective bargaining rights of those unions.

The Rank and File needs to start looking at the positive aspects of this bill.
-They will no longer have dues witheld from their paychecks. Will be up to them to send it to the union if they feel it is deserved.

Both of those things should serve to make a union far more responsive to its members, if they think about it.
So, whats up with the Fleebaggers?
will they continue to hide away? :)
