Organizers of Wausau's Labor Day parade say Republican lawmakers aren't welcome in this year's event.
The Marathon County Central Labor Council sponsors the September 5th parade. The council includes about 30 local unions from the Marathon County area.
Council president Randy Radtke says they choose not to invite elected officials who have "openly attacked worker's rights" or did nothing to intervene.

They should show up waving American Flags.
Sounds like a hate crime to me.
They can save their animosity for Union Day (if there is one). Labor Day is about working people, not just the Workers of the World.
Wiki Blurbs: The holiday was originally proposed to smooth over political problems with the labor unions and Grover Cleveland after the deaths of some striking workers.
The form for the celebration of Labor Day was outlined in the first proposal of the holiday: A street parade to exhibit to the public "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations," followed by a festival for the workers and their families.

That bold part doesn't sound like something I want to celebrate anyway. Enjoy your Reagan Freedom Day!
Use it in good health, and let’s hope it becomes a useful word.
Oh, limiting free speech is OK now?
And just what do they intend to do if any of the Adults do show up?
Opportunity being the operative word there. One of the first things I teach, especially when I teach at the middle school level (this year is the first time back there in the last 14 years) is that FREE MEN AREN'T EQUAL and EQUAL MEN AREN'T FREE. Because forced equality equals communism.
>>We HAD to have MLK day
Or as I call it, Robert E Lee’s Birthday. And I tell everyone I can that week!
lol
My dream...... every Union Thug in Wisconsin thrown in jail for 30 to life...
I'm really excited to him how awesome and wonderful he is :)
/ MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR SARCASM but I want his phone number so I can cuss him out on the phone.
Let us know his reaction! :)
Git yer tomatoes and rotten eggs here......
let them have their parade....who the hell cares....
Walker saved Wisconsin from itself and to me he's a hero...
I think the union brothers and sisters need to go collectively on a diet....or maybe actually WORK....
Yep...and Obama didn’t get the job done either for them...so they’re like children in the sandbox who get sand in their eyes from whinning..... What they need to do is pick up their toys and go home to mama.
Democrates are dirty ruthless players...but not alone...they hire their thugs to do the dirty work...they haven’t the courage to face their opponets....just like in Wisconsin...they ran away and let the thugs for hire do the work.
What is it about “lost” they don’t understand?
1. Lost Nov 2010 Elections
2. Lost Supreme Court Race
3. Lost collective bargaining
4. Lost Supreme Court Recount
5. Lost Recall Elections
6. Lost with False Charges against Supreme Court Justice
