"Who backs Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's campaign against unions?"
Presstvusdesk on Mar 7, 2011

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has been launching an assault against organized labor. But he is not alone in his attack on the rights of people in Wisconsin. There is big money behind the governor and they won't cease their assault until they can achieve their objectives.
In fact, the fight against unions that Walker and his right-wing backers have brought to Madison is about more than unions; it's part of a larger war against the working class. The Nation
Protests erupted in states across the nation last weekend, with Wisconsin seeing it's largest in the state's history with more than 100,000 gathering at the Capitol building in Madison on Saturday. But the mainstream media barely covered the protests. The Nation

OK, let's be clear about this — the protests going on in Wisconsin and other Republican-controlled, Midwestern states have nothing to do with balancing budgets and everything to do with political strategy and union-busting.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a tea-bagger to the ultimate degree, is out to destroy the public sector unions of the state, which happen to be among the biggest unions there, thanks to the decline of private-sector unions generally, the recent financial meltdown and the closure of in-state automobile factories.

Walker has claimed he is trying to balance the budget by getting public sector employees to pay a larger share of their health-care insurance costs, take a cut in pay and relinquish their right to collective bargaining.
