Unions threaten Wisconsin Businesses
WTMJ News ^ | 3-11-11 | Charlie Sykes

That's a nice business you got there. Pity if anything were to happen to it if, say, you didn't toe the line and denounce Governor Walker like we're asking nice-like....

The undersigned groups would like your company to publicly oppose Governor Walker’s efforts to virtually eliminate collective bargaining for public employees in Wisconsin. While we appreciate that you may need some time to consider this request, we ask for your response by March 17. In the event that you do not respond to this request by that date, we will assume that you stand with Governor Walker and against the teachers, nurses, police officers, fire fighters, and other dedicated public employees who serve our communities.

In the event that you cannot support this effort to save collective bargaining, please be advised that the undersigned will publicly and formally boycott the goods and services provided by your company. However, if you join us, we will do everything in our power to publicly celebrate your partnership in the fight to preserve the right of public employees to be heard at the bargaining table. Wisconsin’s public employee unions serve to protect and promote equality and fairness in the workplace. We hope you will stand with us and publicly share that ideal.

“M&I Bank also released a statement noting that by law, individual employees make political contributions “at their own discretion,” rather than the company itself directly.”

THIS IS WHY requiring people to list their employer or employment info with all political donations is being used to target them by the mob. We need to put a stop to that political mandate.

By the way, the Guv signed the bill this morning, so it’s the law of the Dairyland now.

1500 layoff notices have been recalled. More directly tangible changes will be forthcoming soon. Changes that will be visible in peoples pocketbooks. Then we’ll see how many votes the Soros/OFA/SEIU money can buy when the recall elections come along.
