Harrisburg Rally to support Public workers in Wisconsin, 2/23/2011

Sisters & Brothers,

As you know there is a very serious effort to strip public employees of their ability bargain with their employers in the state of Wisconsin . Included in this law the Governor wants to unilaterally impose increased contributions to the employee's healthcare and Pensions. These increases would amount to an approximately 13% cut in pay.

Could you afford a 13% cut in pay?

We need to understand that if this Governor gets away with this affront to democracy and the fundamental rights of working men and women it will spread.

We will be having a rally on Wednesday, February 23 from 12 noon to 1:00 PM in the state capitol rotunda.

I am requesting that as many of you as possible come to this rally to support our brothers and sisters in Wisconsin and send a message that this type of treatment of workers is unacceptable.
