The Wisconsin senate just passed their anti-union bill without the Democrats, by stripping every budgeting item out of it:

So, don't let those lying bastards tell you that this was about the budget. It was about denying workers the right to collectively bargain. It was about starting the process that is continuing all over the country by Republican governors to break the backs of unions: the only outfits with any money at all to fund campaigns, besides corporations, which primarily fund Republicans.

This is about crushing the Democratic Party, using the bodies of workers as stones.
