Wisconsin Governor Moves to Silence Pro-Labor Dissent

John Nichols

February 28, 2011

First Governor Scott Walker announced that he was attaching to a budget-repair bill a scheme to eliminate most collective bargaining rights for state, county and municipal employees in Wisconsin. In the same measure, he proposed to restructure state government so that he would be able to consolidate decision-making authority over cuts in health programs and selling off public assets in his office.

The people objected, big-time, generating the largest protests in the state’s history. They even filled the Capitol with thousands of police officers, firefighters, state employees, teachers, students and their allies.

Then Governor Walker’s allies forced the bill through the state Assembly, holding an early morning vote open for so short a time—seventeen seconds—that the majority of Democrats were unable to participate.

“With having just a seventeen-second roll call, they silenced their legislators, but far more important the people we represent,” said Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, D-Kenosha.

11-03-01 Workers protest in Wisconsin // Trabajadores de protesta en Wisconsin // 在威斯康星州的工人抗议

The protests in Wisconsin continue into their third week, with thousands holding strong in the capitol in Madison, a huge showing of support for the economic rights of union members and the restoration of a strong middle class. The following is a collection of updates and items on what's happening in Wisconsin and the rest of the country.

Update: In Wisconsin, the state house was closed yesterday to people who didn't have official business in the building. But today, judge Daniel Moeser granted the state's public employees' unions' request for atemporary restraining order, and ordered keeping the capitol building open for visitors. The Walker administration is appealing the ruling, and, according to the Madison Capital Times, it is " unclear how, and how soon, state officials would comply with a Dane County Judge's ruling to reopen the state Capitol to the general public."
