2012 Labor Law Breakfast
Series
Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Understanding Wisconsin: Labor, Politics &
Protest in the Dairy State
In February 2011, newly elected Wisconsin
Governor Scott Walker proposed significant
changes to the state’s public-sector
collective bargaining legislation. These
proposed changes resulted in one of the
biggest labor mobilizations in recent
history, with hundreds of thousands of
Wisconsinites descending on the Capitol in
Madison to protest against Walker’s
proposal. Now, more than a year after these
protests, efforts to build on the actions of
those six weeks continue both in the state
and nationally. This presentation will
focus on the events of the past two years in
Wisconsin, offering an inside discussion and
analysis of the Wisconsin Uprising and
concluding with a discussion what’s been
happening during the last 14 months – after
the crowds dispersed.
Presenter: Robert Russell (Labor Education
Specialist, University of Missouri
Extension)

Union members can help spread the
positive word about the economic impact
their union wages have in their community by
attaching a small sticker to every check
they write. Contact Craig Darrah, (thedarrahs@hotmail.com)
financial secretary of the St. Louis Union
Label and Service Trades Council to purchase
the labels.
"My
challenge to you
is to start reading the labels
when you shop for everyday
things and see what you can find
that is made in the USA - the
job you save may be your own or
your neighbors!
