Wisconsin Democrats on Restoration of Collective Bargaining Rights
MADISON, Wis. — Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler issued the following statement on today’s restoration of bargaining rights for public employees in Wisconsin:
“Today’s ruling marks an important victory for working people in Wisconsin, and affirms what’s long been clear—Scott Walker’s attack on public employees was not just a national disgrace, it was unconstitutional. With this decision, working families will once again have the right to organize—a right stripped away by Scott Walker’s ‘divide and conquer’ strategy that pitted working Wisconsinites against each other to the benefit of wealthy special interests.”NOTE: This press release was submitted to Urban Milwaukee and was not written by an Urban Milwaukee writer.
