Labor Rally In Madison On Tuesday and Wednesday
Ed Heinzelman February 22, 2015
Golly,I don’t know if I can make a WOW, Walkout On Walker. I have a dormant case of the “blue flu” and wouldn’t want to spread it to state employees.
Honest question: Has there been any sort of leadership or communication from Mr. Tate and the DPW on this issue? I’m seeing a lot of communications from AFL-CIO, AFSCME, etc. but so far nothing from the DPW. I asked a couple months ago if the party had any strategy in place to combat inevitable “right to work” legislation, and I wasn’t given any answers. I think current happenings prove that the answer was “No, they did not.”
Perhaps Mr. Tate’s salary for doing nothing should be reduced to “nothing.”
Strike Tuesday

re: Strike Tuesday, we’ll see. I read that post last night and it seems extremely vague. It doesn’t mention which unions, if any actual officials were involved, etc. I think talk of a General Strike might be a lot of wishful thinking right now.
