I have a sneakin’ suspicion that if Gov. Walker has to issue layoff notices the Wi. public employees may just walk out via strikes. We shall see what we shall see.
You may be right but I suspect that the unions (already unpopular according to polls) may fear a public backlash. The thing that is really different now than in any previous time is that we’re BROKE. Even unions can’t get blood out of a turnip! If there is such a public reaction the unions may lose not only wage demands but collective bargaining. But, as you say, it will be interesting to how this unfolds.
