Contrary to the Wisconsin State-Journal, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s Act Ten reforms -- which resulted in the end of forced union dues, budget and staff reductions, and diminished influence of Wisconsin’s public sector unions -- is a timely and welcome development.
The article included a misleading statement:
“Wisconsin’s three AFSCME councils are merging four years after the state rolled back public-sector union rights, prompting two out of three dues-paying members to drop out.”
Public sector union collective bargaining is not a right, but an entitlement which forced out taxpayers and unconnected activists who could not raising comparable funding to fight back the collusions between unions and their endorsed politicians.
Interim AFSCME president Mike Fox wrongly denounced Walker’s reforms curbing labor union’s influence:

“It’s a shame that someone can decide that he has to establish his national bona fides by putting his boot on the neck of the workers.”
