I should have said the many of the union people here are violent thugs.
Month by month breakdown: 2011 Wisconsin protests
The SEIU split from the AFL-CIO over illegal aliens. Illegals will work for lower wages than the long time union members. More illegal alien union members mean more money to the union bosses who will throw those long time members under the bus when faced with government or private sector budget cuts (or in the case of Hostess, private sector bankruptcy).
Nevada is a right to work state. The union bosses don't care if US CITIZEN union members lose their jobs.
Again, everyone won in Wisconsin because they ended collective bargaining which put choice back into the hands of the union members and not the union bosses -- without placing an additional burden on the taxpayers.
Seniority and tenure should never be placed above capability, and illegals shouldn't be hired over US CITIZENS.
