Members of Wisconsin State Employees Union, AFSCME Council 24, have begun circulating letters to businesses in southeast Wisconsin, asking them to support workers’ rights by putting up a sign in their windows.

If businesses fail to comply, the letter says, “Failure to do so will leave us no choice but (to) do a public boycott of your business. And sorry, neutral means 'no' to those who work for the largest employer in the area and are union members."

Jim Parrett, a field representative of Council 24 for Southeast Wisconsin, confirmed the contents of the letter, which carries his signature. But he added that the union was also circulating letters to businesses thanking them for supporting workers’ rights.

1. Sit on the fence and get splinters in your ass.

2. A little more heavy handed than it needs to be IMHO.

I think I would have said something like failing to do so would be indicative that this business supports union-busting.

I'd leave it at that rather than stating what would otherwise be an obvious inference.
