If the governor can move the employees into the union, can the governor move them out of the union?
The legislature certainly can. Simply pass a law that if you as a part of your regular duties, supervise 6 or more individuals, you may not be a member of a collective bargaining unit.
If they get reclassified into civil service, probably not. A lot of it depends on the states labor law and civil service regs. The people they are converting are lower level "mangers" and not high level political appointees according to the article..
I don’t see why not.
Nope, once you get into a union Satan is protecting your interests.
