Obama rails against ‘anti-worker law’ signed by Scott Walker
President Barack Obama said he was “deeply disappointed” in the so-called “right-to-work” law signed Monday by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
The legislation bans contracts between employers and unions that require private sector workers to pay labor fees or dues, and is widely viewed by the left as a deliberate attack on organized labor. Wisconsin is now the 25th state with such a law on the books.
“It’s no coincidence that the rise of the middle class in America coincided in large part with the rise of unions – workers who organized together for higher wages, better working conditions, and the benefits and protections that most workers take for granted today,” the president said in a statement released late Monday. “So it’s inexcusable that, over the past several years, just when middle-class families and workers need that kind of security the most, there’s been a sustained, coordinated assault on unions, led by powerful interests and their allies in government,” the president continued.
The bill is just the latest, controversial labor stance from Walker, who is considered a contender for the Republican 2016 presidential nomination and has appeared to shift his positions to the right on several key issues of late.
