Wisconsin governor: 'Mobilizer of the Year'

As expected, the Republican-controlled Wisconsin House of Representatives March 10 approved state senate passed legislation revoking collective bargaining rights for public employees.

The bill now goes to Republican Gov. Scott Walker who promises to sign it into law.

Noting the size and geographic scope of public protests against the legislative assault on collective bargaining rights, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka has named Walker "Mobilizer of the Year" for the labor movement.

Trumka predicts the Wisconsin assault on collective bargaining rights will create a national backlash against extremist conservatives.

"Now they're seeing what backlash really looks like," Trumka said. "It's like the old song goes, 'You aint seen nothing yet.'"

Recall efforts are expected against state lawmakers in Wisconsin and elsewhere who have backed legislation revoking collective bargaining rights for state employees.

In addition to revoking public-employee collective bargaining rights, the Wisconsin legislation cancels state collection of union dues from paychecks, and requires unions to hold annual representation elections.
