Wisconsin Act 10 to go National?
“If you really want to drain the swamp, as Trump says, that would be a way to do it,” Walker said in an interview.
Walker added: “It’s the work rules, the seniority, all those things. If they could tackle that in a similar way to what we did, long term it would be a major, major improvement.”
Most federal employees only have bargaining rights over working conditions. Wages and benefits were not part of bargaining, unlike in Wisconsin, where until Walker’s 2011 legislation public-sector unions had full bargaining rights.
