"'From our standpoint, it's never going to get to me,' Walker said of right-to-work legislation in an interview with the Journal Sentinel on April 27. 'Private sector unions are my partner in economic development.'"
That’s from the May 10, 2012 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Walker also told the Journal Sentinel for a December 12, 2012 article that “it would hurt job growth in the state to have another round of bitter debate like the one that accompanied his mea sure in March 2011 to repeal most collective bargaining for most public workers, leading to the unsuccessful effort to recall him this year.”
Interesting words from a guy who introduced ALEC Right to Work legislation back in 1993. So we may certainly expect that the new legislation sponsored by state Republicans Paul Farrow and Ed Brooks (Senate Bill 26 and Assembly Bill 15) will be vetoed if/when it reaches Walker’s desk? Or shall we cynically assume that this will be signed because the word “union” doesn’t specifically appear, and therefore it literally isn’t about unions?
Perhaps the real question surrounds Walker's level of eagerness for a new round of protests around the State Capitol this spring. If this legislation gets to Walker’s desk and it's signed and protests occur, one has to wonder if every private union employee in the state is a Democrat and/or apathetic.
Guess we'll find out. Should be interesting.
Oh right LOL that lie went right out of the window.
Sorry, minimum wage is not to make big bucks and to be able to afford a house, car, cell phone, 50" plasma tv....its a stepping stone to paying for education, betterment, and getting job skills. You dont "deserve" S@#$. You EARN it.
He will finish his term – run for President – then settle into a nice multi-million dollar analyst role at FoxNews “preaching to the faithful.” Write some books, lecture tour… Hey, it’s good work if you can get it. All he has to continue to do is push an agenda that will destroy this state’s middle class. Thank you Scott Walker. May I have another?
All in the name of a phony fairness
Support for unions? GONE! Support for Walker? ALL TIME HIGH (thanks recallers!) Deal with it.
Back in 1988 Obama was first attending Rev. Wright's radical church He was still attending in 2008
Under this plan everyone benefits. The employer is able to keep a trained work force intact during a temporary setback while no employees lose their jobs. Are we really going to have protests over this? If this is such a massive issue we really for the unions, we really do need Right To Work laws in Wisconsin.
Why U Type Lies Then Run Away ?
@Progress2day Wisconsin's private-sector job creation slowed, census data shows http://www.jsonline.com/business/states-privatesector-job-creation-slowed-census-data-show-k18somg-192535071.html … #wipolitics
@gjzielinski BREAKING-7th Circuit panel rules @wisgop committed "fraud, misrepresentation or misconduct" in illegal redistricting case. http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/federal-panel-opens-gop-computers-in-wisconsin-redistricting-case-mv8u03q-193105171.html Madison - A federal court gave groups suing the state broad access Monday to three computers used by the Legislature to develop Republican friendly voting maps. The Legislature "must make these three computers available in their entirety immediately" to the groups suing the state, the three judges wrote. "The computers are extremely likely to contain relevant and responsive materials that should have been disclosed during pretrial discovery. Moreover, Plaintiffs have established that substantial numbers of documents were not disclosed, which satisfies the court that some form of 'fraud, misrepresentation, or misconduct' likely occurred," the unanimous opinion said. The ruling provided the latest setback for Republican lawmakers, who have consistently resisted releasing documents in the case. It will give the plaintiffs a chance to determine whether legislators and their attorneys improperly withheld additional documents before the case went to trial.
Good thing we have Barry and Hillary showing them how to really lie. Fast and Furious and the Libya attack were excellent examples for the kids. How many Americans have died from redistricting?
I guess there must be nothing to report.
