Review & Outlook: Wisconsin Unions Get Ugly - WSJ.com: "Having lost their fight in the legislature, Wisconsin unions are now getting out the steel pipes for those who don't step lively to their cause. A letter we've seen that was sent to businesses in southeastern Wisconsin shows that Big Labor's latest strategy is to threaten small businesses with boycotts if they don't publicly declare their support for government union monopoly power.
Dated March 28, 2011, the letter is addressed to 'DEAR UNION GROVE AREA BUSINESS OWNER/MANAGER,' in Racine County. And it begins with this warm greeting: 'It is unfortunate that you have chosen 'not' to support public workers rights in Wisconsin. In recent past weeks you have been offered a sign(s) by a public employee(s) who works in one of the state facilities in the Union Grove area. These signs simply said 'This Business Supports Workers Rights,' a simple, subtle and we feel non-controversial statement given the facts at this time.'
We doubt 'subtle' is the word a business owner would use to describe this offer he is being told he can't refuse."
