Wisconsin Governor To Use National Guard Troops To Take Collective Bargaining From Unionized Public Employees

I know, that looks like a parody or something, but it's really, really not:

Gov. Scott Walker says the Wisconsin National Guard is prepared to respond wherever is necessary in the wake of his announcement that he wants to take away nearly all collective bargaining rights from state employees.

Walker said Friday that he hasn't called the Guard into action, but he has briefed them and other state agencies in preparation of any problems that could result in a disruption of state services, like staffing at prisons.

Walker says he has every confidence that state employees will continue to show up for work and do their jobs and he's not anticipating any problems.

His plan would require higher pension and health insurance contributions and remove bargaining rights except in a limited way over wages.

The war on public employees and unions has ratcheted up another notch.

The next thing to come - using national guard troops AGAINST unionized pubic employees.

It's not too difficult to see that coming when you hear the kind of anti-union vitriol emanating from scum like Walker, Chris Christie, Bloomberg, Obama, Gates, Cuomo and all the other corporate whores looking to finish the job the '08 collapse started - giving the banksters 100% of the country.

  1. How chilling. Sounds like Wisconsin is gearing up to become the next Tianenman Square.

  2. I suppose Wisconsin is as good a place as any to start the revolution.
