In the banquet hall part of the local union hall where the results-watching party was, I talked with the (older)(black) teacher for quite a while, and a (Mexican-American) friend of hers who was also very upset about Walker busting unions' balls even more if he won.
The (older) (black) teacher then started talking about some "right to work" state where wages have been depressed, people can be fired year-to-year, and on top of that performance evaluations are based on how many "volunteer hours" a teacher puts in.
"With that kind of situation," she was like, "We might as well go back to picking cotton on the plantation, that's what they want, after all."
