Downtown Milwaukee was filled with chants of “Where are the Jobs?” and “Money for Jobs and Education, Not for Banks and Corporations,” this morning as workers, the unemployed and community members came together to rally for family-supporting jobs in Wisconsin.
The rally took place outside of Governor Walker’s secret, invitation only, jobs forum. Inside the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, Gov. Walker was meeting with select business leaders on how best to create jobs in Wisconsin. We know that the past strategy of tax breaks for the super-rich and corporate allies has not worked for the working families in Wisconsin.
Workers were refused entrance to the forum. When unemployed constituents requested to meet with Walker to discuss jobs, the building owner refused entry.
Patrick Fuhrman, an unemployed land surveyor from West Bend explained that “Walker’s policies deny hard-working people the right to work and to make a living. Giving millions of taxpayer money to CEOs and corporations, taking away collective bargaining rights for employees – these policies hurt every working person in our state and do nothing to create jobs.”
Fuhrman would have been working on the Talgo high-speed rail project if Gov. Walker had not killed the project. Fuhrman recently went back to school to be trained in the green job economy. He expected to work on windmill projects throughout Wisconsin until Gov. Walker slammed the door on that opportunity by placing strict restrictions on the industry which make it virtually impossible to build windmills in Wisconsin.
“Gov. Walker put a damper on my dreams,” said Jeremy Mitchell. Mitchell has been unable to find a good job since he was laid off by a nonprofit organization serving developmentally disabled and mentally ill people due to Walker’s budget cuts.
“Walker’s cuts hurt the most vulnerable and do nothing to create jobs. Where are the proposals to put poor and middle class people back to work?” asked Mitchell.
Wisconsinites continue to hold their Governor accountable for good job creation and expect that their elected officials will put politics aside to create jobs for middle class families in Wisconsin.
