Seeking to punish Wisconsin legislators who voted to reform the state’s collective bargaining process, union activists are pushing recall elections and union bosses, driven by revenge, are spending like mad to oust State Senators who refused to toe their line. The Milwaukee Journal notes that unions have given their candidates a huge cash advantage in these recall elections with the AFL-CIO kicking in $3 million of forced union dues money.
