.@JonErpenbach says provisions of #RightToWork to work apply to @packers, @Brewers & @Bucks players' unions.

Pro teams and pro athletes are covered under Wisconsin's proposed right-to-work law - per leg bureau. #Packers #nfl #RightToWork

This would criminalize their unions-- $10,000 fine and misdemeanor charges. Well, this could be interesting....
