Guest column from Michael Rosen and Charlie Dee, retired faculty from Milwaukee Area Technical College and former leaders of American Federation of Teachers Local 212.
Interesting summary about the history, and pros & cons of Act 10. Turns out, it's been mostly a hoax and con job perpetrated on the average working person by short sighted Wisconsin politicians.
As citizens, we must remain vigilant to use of certain catch phrases to sway opinions, as debates and discourse on similar policies continues.
Example: When I hear politicians use "WOKE" I immediately think "HOAX " or hear
DEI, I think UEI (Unqualified Entitled Individuals).
The perspective on GOP's motivations to gut unions based on partisan politics is very interesting; seems to me perhaps a good reason for unions to become more politically independent, not subservient to the DNC.

Clarifying:
Some politicians do not believe in DEI, but have no problem apponting their own UEI hires for similar positions. (Watch current senate hearings).
Thanks Daniel. Nice to hear from you.
