What I fail to understand is why people are focused on unions anyway. I barely know they exist. They don't have any power in GA.
Do we have them? Sure, I guess. There's the IBEW (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBEW), which has no power whatsoever and can't even set standards or prevent electricians from fradulently representing themselves as IBEW-certified. The Lockheed people sort of have a union, but last time they tried anything (over a decade ago), Lockheed just fired them all and hired strikebreakers immediately. Illegal immigrants were happy to be picked up by the truckload for that one. The former Bellsouth Union died around 2005 and is totally toothless. Our teacher's union (if one still exists) is powerless and has no bargaining powers whatsoever.
If Wisconsin doesn't like unions so much, why don't they just become a right-to-work state (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-work_law) and depower them that way? Under right-to-work, unions become pointless.
