Message from UAW Region 4 Leadership:



***URGENT*** The leadership of UAW Region 4 is requesting that ALL UAW members and Locals join the recall petition efforts in the State of Wisconsin.

There is no issue more important to the survival of the middle class than fighting back the assault on the working people of Wisconsin.

We all need to join the efforts to recall the Republican Senators that stand with Governor Walker. Please get out and do what we do best! Let's take back our State and our Democracy! Solidarity!

New York Times:  Wisconsin Senate limits bargaining by public employees

(MADISON) Statement from Senator Lena C. Taylor (D-Milwaukee) on tonight’s action by the Senate.

“Tonight’s vote was absolutely disgraceful. In a short roll call vote, 18 Republicans stood with a Governor to pass a bill that did nothing to affect the current budget, but only to achieve their political goals of the destruction of the middle class. Walker and his legislative rubberstamps achieved their goal of ending the Wisconsin values of collective bargaining and access to health care. Tonight is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent for Christians, and in this time set aside for repentance and prayer, Republicans have turned judgment on themselves. Justice will flow down like a river on this state as Wisconsin recalls it elected officials who have betrayed the public’s trust.”
