The Right Wing Has a Vast, Secret Plot to Destroy Unions for Good. Here's How to Fight Back.

The vast right-wing network of Koch brother-funded "think tanks" is now plotting to finish off the public sector labor movement once and for all.

In a series of fundraising documents obtained by the Center for Media and Democracy of Madison, Wis., and published in the Guardian, the CEO of a cartel of 66 well-funded arch-conservative state capitol lobbying outfits promises funders a "once-in-a-lifetime chance to reverse the failed policies of the American left."

Tracie Sharp, the leader of the States Policy Network (SPN), goes on to explain that the pathway to permanent right-wing victory is to "defund and defang" unions that rely on the legal protections of state labor law.
