Wisconsin GOP Senators Pass Collective Bargaining Bill Without Democrats
The circus in Wisconsin appears to be coming to an end.
Tired of waiting for the 14 Democrat Senators who fled to neighboring Illinois to return, Wisconsin’s GOP Senators simply stripped Governor Walker’s budget bill of all specific fiscal items and voted to strip public employee unions of all collective bargain rights except the right to negotiate over wages.
The Wisconsin State Senate requires a quorum to take up any measures that actually spend money. But Republicans discovered that if they split off the proposal from the legislation to curtail public employee union’s bargaining rights, they were legally able to pass a bill and a special conference committee of state lawmakers approved that bill a short time later.
The Wisconsin Snoopy Dance – and Idaho too!
