Wisconsin State Employee Union Want Window Signs in Businesses Supporting Union or Threaten Boycott

The Milwaukee Journal reports:
Members of Wisconsin State Employees Union, AFSCME Council 24, have begun circulating letters to businesses in southeast Wisconsin, asking them to support workers’ rights by putting up a sign in their windows.

If businesses fail to comply, the letter says, “Failure to do so will leave us no choice but (to) do a public boycott of your business. And sorry, neutral means 'no' to those who work for the largest employer in the area and are union members."

Jim Parrett, a field representative of Council 24 for Southeast Wisconsin, confirmed the contents of the letter, which carries his signature.
What's the difference between AFSCME and organized crime? At least AFSCME isn't like this union. Feel better?
