Kersten on unions: Law means change in function, worker treatment

Our own Prof. Andrew Kersten offered his expertise on public employee unions and the impending changes to those organizations during a Wednesday interview with WFRV, Channel 5. Once the state’s contentious Budget Repair Bill goes into effect Tuesday (June 28), union dues will become optional and unions will have to re-certify annually. The changes pose logistical challenges and mean workers will be asked to do more for less, Kersten said.
