Governor Scott Walker and the GOP-controlled state legislature freed government employees from involuntary forced union membership, enabling them to choose or not choose to pay dues. The results have shown that roughly two-thirds have not chosen union membership when given the opportunity. And that has meant big cutbacks for the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), one of the most left wing and biggest political contributors to Dempcrats among American unions.
Steven Verburg of the left wing Wisconsin State Journal of Madison, attempts to soft sell the bad news for lefties:
Wisconsin’s three AFSCME councils are merging four years after the state rolled back public-sector union rights, prompting two out of three dues-paying members to drop out.
Mike Fox, a Pennsylvania-based international vice president for the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees, said losses in membership, dues revenue and staff are only part of the reason for the merger.
AFSCME set a goal in 2006 of consolidating state councils in an effort to offer expanded services to members, said Fox, who arrived in Madison this month to serve as interim director of the new statewide AFSCME Council 32.

ASFCME forced to cut back its operations. Good! They are just paid agitaters.

Well, with 2/3 less members that goal should be a piece of cake...
Wonder if they will send Walker a thank you note for helping them achieve their goals...
LOL..
Thank you!
Wow! How's it feel to be the zit-faced kid at the prom?
Back when I lived in Madison (1970s), the Wisconsin State Journal was moderate and the Capital Times was liberal (actually, far left). Now they're both left wing?
PRoves several things:
1.Nobody wants to be in liberal groups/programs when it’s voluntary.
2.If the unions were that vital to the workers, the workers would stay in the union because they would feel they were being well represented and the union was looking out for their best interests.
3. Most people do not agree with liberal agendas. As the exodus indicates.
ALL STATES RIGHT TO WORK.
NO COMPULSORY UNION DUES.
OUTLAW ALL FEDERAL EMPLOYEE UNIONS
OUTLAW CORPORATE FOREIGN OUTSOURCING- AMERICANS FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OUTLAW WITHHOLDING OF UNION DUES FROM WORKERS PAYCHECKS
NO EARLY VOTING
NO FELONS VOTING
VOTER FRAUD MINIMUM 25 YEAR SENTENCE.
THROW OUT ALL REGISTRATIONS, NEW NATIONAL VOTER ID CARD REQUIRED TO VOTE.
INVESTIGATE , INDICT, AND IMPRISON ALL MARXIST CROOKS IN THE CONGRESSIONAL PROGRESSIVE CAUCUS AND THE AFL-CIO.
Buying only half as many Democrat politicians as they did a few years ago......
So when given their liberty 66% of dues paying union members chose freedom. I call that a roadmap to victory.

Fabulous news. Love Scott Walker.
It’s really simple. When unions formed in the early 1900’s working conditions were in many cases appalling. Employees had no rights. That all changed. At some point enough protections were in place and the unions reason for existence was gone. Since then they have existed only to perpetuate themselves like some out of control cancer. We’re finally witnessing the pendulum swinging back towards sanity.
” They are just paid agitaters.”?
Sooo,They take after obammy.
