It seems to be catching.
Joining states such as Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio in an effort to take away worker rights, a House committee in Oklahoma approved a bill that would drastically restrict collective bargaining for
workers in 13 cities around the state.
Unlike in Wisconsin, however, Oklahoma's bill would also deal a blow to police and firefighter unions, greatly altering their ability to negotiate via binding arbitration when contract talks with state and local officials fail.
HB 1576 now heads to the full House in Oklahoma for a vote. As The Oklahoman reported, Republican Rep. Randy Terrill has called the bill one of the toughest anti-union measures in years.
