These graphics were sent to the Wausau Tea Party from a Wisconsin County Employee. The employee received them via government emails in messages from an AFSCME Union Rep. The instructions were to put pressure on local businesses to make them aware that the unions are watching. “All public employees are being urged to look for this sign in business windows.”
From the Union Rep: “I encourage you to utilize your own business contacts and urge them to hang this prominently in their window. The explanation that I’ve found works best if they are apprehensive is that this is about local dollars, not politics. If our buying power is destroyed—their business will be affected adversely. Please let your area lead know which businesses you get to participate so that they might compile a list to distribute to the members.”
The County Employee also received an email with the Union “Business Card” and was instructed to “make copies of the business cards” and “distribute to each business where you spend money.”
