Union leaders and labor scholars don’t think Walker’s move to crush the union is about the deficit.

“Denying people’s rights has nothing to do with the budget,” said Michael Uehlein [with] the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO). Uehlein views Walker’s proposal as “an excuse to go after his political enemies” and “the first step that will lead to drastically reduced wages across the state.”
