Sanders to Scott Walker: We need a stronger trade-union movement

Fierce response to Walker plan to bar federal public unions

Walker's plan calls for eliminating unions for employees of the federal government, making all workplaces right-to-work unless individual states vote otherwise and scrapping the federal agency that oversees unfair labor practices.

Walker won nationwide recognition for eviscerating public-sector unions in Wisconsin and becoming the first governor to prevail in a recall election, which followed huge protests against his anti-union steps. Now he's proposing to go national with an effort to curb union clout.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, said Walker's plan would only make rich people and corporations even wealthier. "If we are going to rebuild the crumbling middle class we need a stronger trade-union movement, not a weaker one," he said in a statement.

Go Bernie!

1. If "prevail" means "win by cheating" then yeah, Walker prevailed.
