Guest: Bill Scher – Executive editor Liberal Oasis.com
Why Wisconsin Matters to You & Why Public Employees Are Not the Problem
As thousands are rallying in Wisconsin and across the nation to support the Democratic budget standoff in Wisconsin, we discuss with Bill Scher why so many who are not part of a union so committed to protecting the role of organized workers in our government and our economy.
Bill discusses the vital importance of opposing conservative governor’s attacks on the collective bargaining rights of our nation’s civil servants across the nation, and the reasons that supporting unions is important for all Americans: these reasons include keeping workplace standards high, strengthening the middle class, protecting the ability of any workers to negotiate fair pay and secure retirements and insuring through decent government pay, that we have a decent government.
