Wisconsin’s Act 10 is back in the crosshairs -- and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Act 10 curbed government union power by limiting collective bargaining and requiring public employees to contribute more toward their pensions and health benefits.

Repealing it would be a massive step backward, restoring power to union bosses at taxpayers’ expense and threatening the fiscal reforms that helped Wisconsin rein in runaway government labor costs.

Wisconsin must not turn back the clock and hand government unions the keys to the treasury again.

Democratic leaders say the 2011 law has harmed teacher retention and public services, while supporters argue it saves taxpayers billions and gives local governments greater flexibility.

Senator Ruben Gallego has unveiled his progressive utopian plan for the future, which consists of higher taxes and more unions.

I bet you didn’t see that coming . . .

But Gallego’s labor agenda gets even better. He wants to TRIPLE union membership by 2035, make it easier for union bosses to gain power, and force employers to negotiate with unions over workplace technology.

And because nothing says progress like fighting technological advancements, Gallego wants a “robot tax” to discourage automation, restrictions on technology that replaces workers, and even government-funded jobs for workers displaced by AI.

Apparently, Gallego thinks the way to build tomorrow’s economy is to tax innovation, hamstring businesses, and give union bosses more control over America’s workplaces.

The American Dream, according to progressive Democrats!

The senator wants to “triple union density by 2035” and pay for a host of social welfare programs with new taxes on data centers and AI companies.

Four years.

That’s how long it took Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna’s eight-person congressional staff to negotiate their first union contract.

Why? Because, as his staffers explained, union contracts are complicated and directly affect workers’ lives.

Fair enough.

But you don’t work for a congressman. That’s why Khanna and his fellow Big Labor shill across the aisle, Republican Josh Hawley, want you to do it all in ninety days.

That’s the absurdity of Josh Hawley’s so-called “Faster Labor Contracts Act.”

Four years for an eight-person congressional office to negotiate a union contract. Ninety days for private-sector employers to reach a deal with a union -- regardless of the number of employees they have or the complexity of the negotiations -- then Washington bureaucrats step in and impose a deal.

Yet Hawley pretends his bill will empower workers, when the only people empowered are his Big Labor friends.

Gretchen Whitmer is apparently so determined to repay the UAW for helping put her in office that she’s now acting as the union’s international saleswoman.

After the UAW got crushed by Mercedes workers in Alabama, Whitmer wrote to a German government official asking him to pressure Mercedes to help the union organize its Alabama plant.

Read that again: a Michigan governor is asking a foreign government to pressure a foreign company over a union vote in Alabama.

And the irony? Whitmer repealed Michigan’s Right to Work law. Since then, Michigan has lost 36,200 manufacturing jobs and its unemployment rate has climbed to 5% . . . the fourth highest in the nation.

When Alabama workers won’t buy what the UAW is selling, apparently Whitmer thinks a foreign government should step in and force the sale.

Where does Randi Weingarten think teachers’ union dues can best be used?

Improving schools? Helping elevate children’s test scores? Incentivizing teacher performance?

Nah!

Weingarten thinks teachers' union dues are better used to fund the far-left’s political infrastructure.

National Right to Work Committee President Mark Mix nailed the bigger issue: “AFT’s own filings show how teachers’ dues money is being used as a political war chest to advance the far-left agenda of union bosses.”

And why can Weingarten do this? Because government-granted monopoly bargaining power gives union bosses extraordinary power over public education and the resources to build a political machine around it.

As Mark Mix put it: “Until that privilege is ended, teacher union bosses like Randi Weingarten will continue to abuse this extraordinary power to the detriment of students, teachers, and taxpayers.”

And, dare we say, the country.

The American Federation of Teachers uses AFT members' dues to fund the Left, such as the Center for American Progress and the Clinton Foundation.

Union boss and Senate candidate Dan Osborn’s “independent moderate” act is getting harder to maintain.

Undercover audio reveals what Osborn really believes when he doesn’t think Nebraska voters are listening.

He says he can’t tell Nebraska voters he supports men playing in women’s sports. Then he explains that once elected, he can become “the voice for LGBTQ and immigration” -- because, as he puts it, “I’m gonna win this election. And then I’ll be the Senator for six years and everybody else can f-off.”

That’s quite a definition of “independent.”

There’s more. He privately called Trump’s border wall a “symbol of racism” while running campaign ads portraying himself as willing to help Trump build it. And he was caught describing Trump supporters as people whose lives “probably suck.”

Then there’s his infamous Kellogg’s strike. Osborn called it a victory. But Kellogg’s later closed its Omaha plant, costing nearly 500 workers their jobs.

So the picture emerging from Osborn’s own words is pretty straightforward: tell Nebraska voters what they want to hear to get elected -- then secretly promise to do the opposite when elected.

That’s not independence. That’s a political bait-and-switch.

Dan Osborn, the Independent Nebraska Senate candidate endorsed by Democrats, ducked out of a picket line in 2021 to address a far-left convention of young Democrats that featured a land acknowledgement, calls for amnesty for illegal immigrants, and a resolution to let prostitutes form a labor union.

25 years of Right to Work -- and the results are hard to argue with.

As this piece marking Oklahoma’s 25th anniversary explains, before Right to Work, Oklahoma’s job growth lagged the national average by 25%.

Since then, employment growth has been more than 60% greater than the average for non-Right to Work states.

And Oklahomans are taking home more, too: nearly $10,000 more in disposable income per person than the average resident of a non-Right to Work state, adjusted for regional cost-of-living differences.

After 25 years, Right to Work has become an indispensable part of Oklahoma’s identity and a powerful example of what happens when workers have the freedom to choose whether to support a labor union.

Freedom works. Oklahoma is living proof.

Twenty-five years after passing State Question 695, Oklahoma has seen significant economic growth and job gains.

AFT boss Randi Weingarten has demonstrated that her real interests have very little to do with education and everything to do with advancing left-wing politics and causes.

As the Wall Street Journal points out, the teachers' union runs on two rules: teacher tenure for life and pay that is never based on performance.

Even former AFT president Albert Shanker recognized the problem decades ago, saying that “as long as there are no consequences” and the focus isn’t on education and student outcomes, unions are simply playing a power game. Ya think!

He recognized the problem but never did anything to fix it. And Weingarten’s tenure has been marked by just more of the same.

Every bad teacher protected is another dues-paying member kept. That's not a bug. That’s the teachers' union's business model.

‘We must learn what went wrong,’ says the head of the teachers union. She needs to look in the mirror.

Talk about trying to hand Big Labor 190,000 home healthcare workers on a silver platter.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul recently replaced hundreds of companies that handled payroll and other administrative duties for home-care workers with ONE statewide company, Public Partnerships LLC (PPL).

Now SEIU bosses are salivating at the prospect of using that consolidation to corral those 190,000 caregivers into one massive union bargaining unit -- and collect their dues.

The good news? Right to Work Foundation attorneys are fighting back.

The Foundation is challenging the organizing drive because PPL isn’t actually the caregivers’ employer. The caregivers are employed by the individuals who hire and direct them, and who are often family members or friends. PPL primarily serves as an intermediary, handling payroll and other administrative functions.

The Foundation is also arguing that the proposed statewide bargaining unit doesn’t pass legal muster.

In other words, SEIU bosses may have thought New York just handed them 190,000 potential dues payers.

Thanks to Right to Work attorneys, the SEIU’s home healthcare bonanza just got slammed in the face.
