The workers in Wisconsin have plenty of protection. There is OSHA,LIRC,EEOC,NLRB and I am sure a few more that are all free for every worker in the state who thinks their rights have been trampled.

Today, state unions are only about leverage to get more than their counterparts in private industry receive.
