In Wisconsin, Governor Scott Walker is waiting for the Right to Work bill, which has already been approved by the State Senate, to work its way through the State Assembly. He has indicated he will sign the legislation to make Wisconsin a "Right to Work" state, prohibiting employees from being forced to join a union against their will. As we've seen in countless other States that have adopted the "Right to Work" philosophy, it's the right thing to do for job creators and employees alike.
The liberal left progressives are accusing Walker of reversing his stance on Right to Work legislation, but that is not necessarily true. He did not pursue the legislation before not because he did not believe in it, but because the timing was not yet right. First, he wanted to reform the unions, and do away with collective bargaining with public unions in the State of Wisconsin.
Walker has shown he supports the idea of "Right to Work" as far back as 1993.
"I've never said that I didn't think it was a good idea," Walker told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "I've just questioned the timing in the past and whether it was right at that time."
When Governor Walker signs the legislation, it will make Wisconsin the 25th Right to Work State, a move that has been instrumental in encouraging job growth, and economic prosperity in the States it is enacted.
Liberal Left media outlets have suggested he is tackling the unions once again to help fuel his run for President in 2016. Walker has shown to have courage made of steel, having stood up to the unions before, and surviving a massive attack from the liberal left that led to a recall effort a couple years ago.
