Hey DUmmy Lurkers! Thought you might like this little story.

Wisconsin teachers union decertified in latest blow to labor under Walker law
eachers from one of Wisconsin’s largest unions have jumped ship -- voting overwhelmingly to abandon the group in the latest in a string of setbacks for the struggling labor movement following Gov. Scott Walker’s union overhaul two years ago.
The decision this week to disband by members of the Kenosha Education Association came after the organization was stripped of its certification and told it had lost its power to bargain for base wages with the district. The group was decertified after missing a key deadline in the annual reapplication process.
When the group might actually disband was not clear and calls to the organization were not returned.
The development is in keeping with an overall downward spiral for Wisconsin’s public worker unions. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported earlier this year that tens of thousands of teachers and other government workers have left their unions since the Walker-backed law took effect.
Known as Act 10, the set of reforms includes a provision that says unions won’t be recognized by the state unless 51 percent of all potential members support them in annual elections.
These elections have contributed to their decline.
According to Reuters, elections in 2011 and 2012 -- in which 207 school districts, 39 municipal and six state units participated -- resulted in 32 unions and their affiliates, or about 13 percent, being decertified.
However, those decertifications are on hold until the legal cases involving Act 10 are resolved in court.

Maybe the rank and file members are getting tired of the union thug mentality...or maybe they are questioning just what do they get in exchange for their dues?

Next question?

Wisconsin teachers union decertified in latest blow to labor under Walker law
Latest blow = freedom of choice
Why are democrats against choice? I thought they were all about choice. If I understand this right there is only one, tiny sliver of choice for democrats and that is the free and open choice to murder babies....oh and stick your pecker in another man.

The DUmmies are on top of this. It looks like it might be Paul Ryan's fault.

2. Who 'de-certified' them?
Or did this happen at the request of the membership?
More likely is this is Scott Walker's doing, no?
Scott Walker did it? You democrats ought to recall that guy.

Typical DUmmie fashion, if it doesn't confirm to their way of thinking it's a lie.
