Rep. Jeff Fitzgerald and Caucus Wanted Right-to-Work Legislation. Walker never said he wouldn't sign it.....


Right to work is coming if the Democrats don't grab hold of the state senate, along with fewer "job creation" bills. I don't understand why we're expected to be like every other state in the country run by Republicans.

Salon: Does Scott Walker want to make Wisconsin a right-to-work state? He says no. But his allies are gunning for it.

In a new video, the speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly says his caucus wanted to pass a right-to-work bill last year. The video, shot on March 27 of this year by a Democratic Party tracker, who provided the footage to Salon, captures Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald talking at a bar with a reporter from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

The reporter asks Fitzgerald whether he was surprised when Walker described his plans to attack public workers’ collective bargaining. “No, it wasn’t a shock to me …” responds Fitzgerald. “My caucus wanted to go further. I had people in my caucus that was, you know, were wondering if we were going to do Right to Work in this state. So to tell you the truth, the collective bargaining, to me, I thought was more of a middle ground if you can believe that.”
