MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — At the Capitol, Democrats introduce bills to roll back Scott Walker era labor laws.
The “Build A Stronger Wisconsin” package would restore the prevailing wage, repeal the so-called “Right-to-Work” law, reinstate the ability to use project labor agreements, and address worker misclassification.
“You rest assured when you’re coming to Sheboygan, you’re coming to a union town,” said Sheboygan state Representative Joe Sheehan, backed by union members at Thursday’s press conference.
“I cannot wait till the day that we can overturn all of this and give Wisconsin back to the people,” said Milwaukee state Representative Christine Sinicki.
While Democrats said all this would be popular with voters, the bills are unlikely to get hearings in the Republican controlled legislature.
