I wish I could find that article: it really speaks to what is going on with this bill.
Ahh I think I know the one you're talking about but I can't find it.

There's an article in the Times today that talks about this

Governor Walker, in an interview, said he hoped that by “pushing the envelope” and setting an aggressive example, Wisconsin might inspire more states to curb the power of unions. “In that regard, I hope I’m inspiration just as much as others are an inspiration to me,” he said.
And yesterday union officials said they would agree to all of Walker's financial proposals as long as they could keep their rights, but he said no.
