Sure, we could still have a "union" but collective bargaining for all state and local employees of any kind is banned. So the union is just a professional organization or club with no power.
And, sadly, Democrats in our legislature are just as much for this as Republicans- they had a solid majority and the Governers seat until just a few years ago and chose to keep that ban in place.

Sort of like Tim Pawlenty - another right-wing Midwestern governor who, as of 2008, was supposed to be an up and coming star. Where is he now? Well, he is a lobbyist for banks (Quelle surprise!), but at least we don't have to look at or listen to him any more. I assume when Wanker finally gives up because nobody is paying him any attention he will find a sweet job with the Koch cartel, or maybe cleaning the Koch brothers' swimming pools.
