Scott Walker can’t stop digging himself into a hole with union workers.
After stripping public-sector union members of collective bargaining rights in 2011, one might think that there wasn’t more the Republican governor could do to anger workers. But Walker, who is locked in a tight race Wisconsin against Democratic challenger Mary Burke, ran afoul of the president of a local steelworkers’ union over a recent campaign ad.
In the ad, Walker speaks to the camera from a deep hole. Jeff Kaminsiki, head of the United Steelworkers Local 2006, filed a complaint with the Occupational Health and Safety Administration over the unsafe working conditions depicted in Walker’s commercial.

Found it! An actual print article about the Steelworkers Union filing an OSHA complaint against Scott Walker over his new commercial. This is ridiculous. Plus the complaint has caused Walker’s commercial to be shown over and over again on all the cable channels. LOLOLOL. Great, FREE, publicity, IMHO.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
We should pick a Donk governor and lawfare him like this. How about Oregon’s Kitzhaber?
The Union OSHA complaint really highlights how unions badly twist and abuse otherwise well intentioned state and federal work rules to further their political agendas to the detriment of the country an the companies that employ them and ultimately, even to their members.
Ironically, the people who have most benefited from Scott Walker are rank and file union members who have stopped being robbed blind and screwed over by the unions they belong to
Now that the tone has been set I guess I have to worry about the stupid union goon next door reporting me to OSHA if I get on a ladder w/o a safety harness, mow the grass w/o safety glasses, etc.
—maybe the principle of “unintended consequences “ worked for our side at last-—
Uhhhh MSNBC, he could give two shyts about the unions, get it.
I can’t find the video, do you have a link that goes right to it?
Screw the union “head”. I have seen that ad and it is NOT offensive to anyone other than the demodummie moon bats.
The ad portrays Walker climbing up out of a hole in the ground. The “hole”, created by the demodummies, depicts the Wis. economy under the previous leadership of former Gov. Doyle AND Mary Burke. The intent is to show that Walker has gotten Wisconsin’s economy up and growing again (Which he has done).
I can see why the Union doesn’t like it because its the TRUTH.
Note the lede: it’s Walker’s fault for “digging himself into a hole with unions.” It couldn’t be that the underhanded, petty, vindictive unions just can’t accept that the public hates them, and that Walker is acting with broad public support.

good ad,
Thanks
Governor Walker. Over the target, takin’ flack. Love My Gov!
I’m sorry. I can’t find it either. Did you want to see the broadcast, or the ad? Maybe I can find the ad. It’s a good one.
“Found it! An actual print article about the Steelworkers Union filing an OSHA complaint against Scott Walker over his new commercial.”
Those dickheads haven’t had an original thought their entire lives. In some sense, the are just like the Taliban. The’ve just traded in the mosque for the union hall.
“Now that the tone has been set I guess I have to worry about the stupid union goon next door reporting me to OSHA if I get on a ladder w/o a safety harness, mow the grass w/o safety glasses, etc.”
Now don’t forget checking your coffeemaker for a grounding plug and having a look in your bathrooms to make sure you have split toilet seats.
