Seventy public-employee unions have been dismantled in Wisconsin. One of the few things that FDR was right about was that they should have never been legal.

I thought “a good start” was 500 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean.
Unfortunately, a State group in Iowa just did the opposite: they voted to unionize:

It seems to be in response to the Governor shutting down a state-run boarding facility that was not only performing poorly, but was also violating rules and mandates put into place after an internal audit and complaint investigation.
I was totally freaked out when I learned that 70 unions operated in Wisconsin. “Totally” went up by several orders of magnitude when I read the article that they’re all associated with public unions. Good grief! How in the name of Eugene Debs does a single industry attract that many unions in a single state? How many more damn unions are in Wisconsin??
Those were probably local chapters of larger unions like the AFT and NEA.
