Thom's blogEgypt isn’t the only site of discontented state workers ...Egypt isn’t the only site of discontented state workers – Wisconsin is too. Since coming into office in January – Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has made it clear – he does not represent state workers. He hasn’t negotiated with these workers once – and has now put forward a plan to break their union, cut their pay, and limit their bargaining rights. With a Republican state legislature – Walker’s plan will be enacted swiftly. And if any labor disruptions occur as a result – Walker has pledged to bring in the National Guard to help enforce it. That’s right – Walker is cutting worker’s pay by 8% - and stripping them of their rights to negotiate over workplace safety conditions. Then – he’s threatening to call in the National Guard to suppress any labor strikes. Is Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker the new Hosni Mubarak?-Thom(How do you rate his chances? Tell us here.)
