And while Democrats are sweating over blowing their whole stash in Wisconsin…

January 27, 2012

other states are starting to catch on: we can make some headway while they’re concentrating on the cheeseheads!

In another blow to organized labor in the traditionally union heavy Midwest, Indiana is poised to become the first right-to-work state in more than a decade after Republican lawmakers cleared the way on Wednesday to ban unions from collecting mandatory fees from workers.

Indiana would mark the first win in 10 years for national right-to-work advocates who have pushed unsuccessfully for the measure in other states following a Republican sweep of statehouses in 2010. But few right-work states boast Indiana’s union clout, borne of a long manufacturing legacy…

Indiana’s Senate still has to pass it, but that appears to be a shoo-in. Then the Governor has to sign it, and there’s every indication he will.

This, of course, goes far beyond what Governor Walker did in Wisconsin. But that’s okay, unions – you just keep your eyes on us!
