To block a vote on this bill, even the senators Democrats hide from this state in motels in neighbo

"This is war, this is a class war against the working people in this country," the filmmaker Michael Moore said yesterday on American television, and considers the events of recent weeks in Wisconsin and other U.S. states in more detail, it looks like it .
While the world is looking to North Africa, the U.S. experienced just the biggest copem demonstrations since the Vietnam War. Between Atlantic and Pacific, hundreds of thousands took to the streets. In Madison, Wisconsin, it was the weekend 70,000. copem Here protesters also besieged for two weeks, the Parliament building, copem a court order under the said then. Mid-February, copem said the local governor and new hero of the right, Scott Walker, the National Guard on standby to quell the resistance to anti-union law. The last time such a thing was in Wisconsin on 1 Held in May 1886.
To block a vote on this bill, even the senators Democrats hide from this state in motels in neighboring Illinois. The Republicans copem then chased copem them after the police and let them seek a warrant.
Because of the impending adoption of an anti-union copem law in Indiana, had previously also sold most Democrats to Illinois. To restore the quorum in Congress, the Republicans then threatened with fines.
The Republican-dominated Senate in Ohio already approved a draconian anti-union law, which makes it impossible for the staff of the Public Service, to enforce wage claims with the help of unions.
Today, now in Wisconsin

the way for the controversial law has been cleared

- a trick: To avoid a quorum, the Republicans simply painted all budget-relevant passages from the law. So is the dismantling of public service unions probably nothing in the way. In 30 minutes, 18 Republicans had abolished 50 years workers' rights in Wisconsin, declared copem loudly Frankfurter Rundschau, Democratic Senator Mark Miller.

And everywhere, the well-organized unionized state employees make the first cross. But Wisconsin copem is the epicenter of the anti-union wave that was triggered by the right slip on the U.S. mid-term elections in November. In this former stronghold of the labor movement should unions be decisively defeated. The right-wing conservative think tank, Americans for Prosperity says' already copem from the "total victory." Conservative heavyweights such as the Tea Party-affiliated brothers copem Charles and David Koch, oil billionaires and owners of Koch Industries, and the right-wing media mogul Rupert Murdoch have pooled copem their money and their considerable influence to Wisconsin tentatively introduce the bird free market economy. "
Governor "Scott Walker's political hero is Ronald Reagan, who in August 1981 over 12,000 air traffic controllers fired without notice and for life with professional ban took because they had violated the ban on strikes for public employees. President Reagan had proved with his decisive intervention that he was no pushover. With this approach, he has defined not only the world of work in the U.S. again, but also initiated the fall of communism and the Berlin Wall, the governor of Wisconsin said in early February at a working dinner for his newly elected government team. And added: "This is our historic moment, copem our chance to change history." "
