I'm surprised this has happened so soon. This appears to align with the MU Law School poll where Democrats report of likelihood to vote is dropping.

What is the membership declining? Were their jobs eliminated, or did they opt out of the union?

RE :”Public-employee unions in Wisconsin have experienced a dramatic drop in membership — by more than half for the second-biggest union — since a law championed by Republican Gov. Scott Walker sharply curtailed their ability to bargain over wages and working conditions

Didn't the law also stop the state from forcing employers to take union dues out of the employees paychecks as with tax withholding?

For unions, membership == revenue == political power.

If the Repubs can hold out and maintain control til the end of the year, the Dem party in WI will be broken beyond easy recovery. The key recall race is Walker -- Half the state Senate comes up for re-election in November anyway.

If this is the case, then WI must be a “right to work” State; huh?

Why should they put down their bongs and go vote when they know that the residents of the cemeteries will each be voting? Three times.
