Wisconsin's Union Laws blocked?
Only days after the anti-union law in Wisconsin was passed, stripping Wisconsinites of their collective bargaining rights and requiring a larger retirement contribution, a state judge ordered a restraining order disabling the bill from becoming an obligatory law. State law states that the law must take effect one day after its passing in the house but the court order on behalf of the left could jeopardize the validity of the law. Despite the controversial nature of the law, the attempts on behalf of the "right to unionize" demographic are a desperate, last-ditch effort to thwart a bipartisan bill that was brought to law legally and constitutionally. I remain sympathetic with the blue-collar left, however the methods of resistance by the liberals are inexcusable, not to mention immature. When the universal healthcare came to fruition, no Republican was seen deserting their post or commit dereliction of duty. There are better ways to deal with contentious legislation than shutting down and refusing to diplomatically deal with the issue at hand, which is what the Democrats are guilty of in this instance.

I agree with you, the anti-union law in Wisconsin will not be in the best interest of the state.
