He has stated so publicly.
I'm sure if federal employees faced the sudden and complete loss of their right to collectively bargain, they'd act exactly as union members in Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana are acting right now.

Since federal employees don't have the right to collective bargain for wages, benefits, etc. they would be elated if they had the benefits Scott walker is proposing for state workers. If collective bargaining doesn't exist on the federal level why does it need to exist on the state level? Actually in Walker's proposal the union still has the right to collective bargain for wages. I don't see federal workers complaining about their jobs, benefits, heallthcare premiums, working conditions, etc.
