Shameful Push to Destroy Workers' Rights

Right now there is a push by a group of conservative Republicans who are trying to take away the collective bargaining power of labor unions. The main battle-ground so far has been in Wisconsin, where Governor, Scott Walker, has not budged in his quest to destroy organized labor's power--despite the fact that unions have already agreed to concessions to wages and benefits.

Democratic senators have fled to Illinois to prevent passage of this bill that would send workers' rights backwards more than a century.

Remember this when you vote next time. Do you want the rich to get richer and the bulk of Americans to pay for it?
