WHAT'S IN GOV WALKER'S UNION BUSTING BILL?

(h/t Rortybomb)

The bill is available in PDF here and near the beginning, there's a section that absolutely prohibits several groups of workers from ANY collective bargaining:
Under current law, University of Wisconsin (UW) System employees, employees of the UW Hospitals and Clinics Authority, and certain home care and child care providers have the right to collectively bargain over wages, hours, and conditions of employment. This bill eliminates the rights of these employees to collectively bargain.
Further, municipalities may NOT decide to bargain as they have in the past:
This bill also prohibits municipal employers from collectively bargaining with municipal general employees in matters that are not permitted under MERA.
