AFSCME?s Next Wave Diving into Labor 2010

By admin

ADVERTISEMENTS

Wisconsin Next Wave participants held a “Set the Record Straight” rally outside the Milwaukee County Courthouse last week.

Karen Hickey of the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO lets us know that young AFSCME members in Wisconsin kicked off their statewide Next Wave conference last week by knocking on thousands of doors in Milwaukee.

After a morning of community service, some 150 AFSCME members from around the state took to the streets to talk to union members about the importance of the fall elections. AFSCME’s Next Wave conference brings together young union members who represent the next generation of union leadership.

The day’s events ended with a rally of more than 300 workers outside of the Milwaukee County Courthouse. In a show of solidarity, members from other unions stood with AFSCME to highlight Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker?s record of slashing essential services as Milwaukee County executive. The rally countered attacks on public employees who have become a staple of conservative campaigns.
