Campus Connection: Republicans side with UW in battle vs. unions

Four Republican lawmakers are hoping to keep hundreds of academic staff on six UW System campuses from being absorbed into unions.

Rep. Steve Nass (R-Town of La Grange), Rep. Robin Vos (R-Rochester), Sen. Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) and Sen. Alberta Darling (R-River Hills) announced Thursday they plan to introduce legislation that would stop the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission from deciding whether UW System staff members can be put into a collective bargaining unit against their will.
