5/13/2012

By Doug Cunningham

With music, food and speeches Wisconsin’s South Central Federation of Labor’s Solidarity Kick-Off launched a door-to-door get out the vote push to recall Governor Scott Walker June 5th. It was a spirited affirmation of the Wisconsin Uprising’s determination to defeat Walker’s attacks on workers, on education, health care and on women. It came two days after a January 2011 video of Walker talking to Wisconsin billionaire Diane Hendricks surfaced. Hendricks asked Walker if he could make Wisconsin a ‘right to work” state by attacking unions. Walker’s reply was an enthusiastic ‘Oh yeah!”. Walker said the “first step” was to attack public worker collective bargaining to “divide and conquer”. Hendricks went on to give Walker more than $500,000. American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten.

[Randi Weingarten]: “This is a moment in tine where people in Wisconsin get to decide whether they want to take back their state or do they want someone who wants to divide and conquer.”

Wisconsin State Representative Chris Taylor vowed that on June 5th Walker will hear the roar of Wisconsin mothers intent on protecting education and workers.
