Wisconsin Solidarity Weekend

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

With the Wisconsin-inspired battle for worker rights spreading like wildfire across the country, there are three local events in the metro Washington area this weekend, including one on Sunday targeting Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, who will be in DC at the annual National Governor’s Association meeting. “Please join us as we tell Walker to go back to Wisconsin and kill the bill that would strip the state’s workers of their collective bargaining rights,” says Metro Council President Jos Williams. “Tunisia, Egypt and Indiana prove that mobilizing in the streets works: see you on the line!” Plus: watch for full coverage over the weekend on our website!
