It makes the union put pressure on the legislators to stop fighting and sign the damn budget. I think it's interesting that they actually have a provision that lets the employees get paid at all without a budget since it was more of an automatic thing here than the governor making a point.
Hopefully the union will help the workers (and I'm assuming that the state workers are unionized her but that's been my experience.) I think it sucks that they're the ones who get hurt in the process, but it's probably more effective than anything else.
