After a collaborative and democratic process involving workers and leaders across the state, the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO has endorsed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke for Wisconsin Governor in the 2014 November election.
Gov. Walker has attacked workers’ wages, protections and collective bargaining rights, dismantled voting rights, enacted hyper-partisan redistricting lines, and failed to create good jobs for hard-working Wisconsinites. Wisconsin ranks an unacceptable 35th in the nation in private sector job creation. In March,
Wisconsin ranked #2 in the nation in job losses. It is blatantly clear that Wisconsin needs new leadership to get our economy back on track and put Wisconsinites back to work.
“Mary Burke has a proven track record of creating good jobs with family-supporting benefits for Wisconsin workers,” said Phil Neuenfeldt, President of the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO. “We know Mary Burke is the best candidate to represent working people across Wisconsin. Burke knows that respecting workers’ rights to organize in both the public and private sector is good for the economy and good for workers. We need a Governor that will stand with workers and fight to raise wages so that we can grow our economy from the bottom-up and middle-out. By investing in workforce education, training and development and working with local manufacturers in important economic sectors like paper, agriculture and fresh water, Mary Burke can grow business and create jobs while respecting workers’ rights.”
“The pressing issues for Wisconsinites this election is crippling income inequality and a lack of access to good jobs,” said Stephanie Bloomingdale, Secretary-Treasurer of the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO. “Income inequality is destroying the American Dream. Gov. Walker is doing nothing to stop and everything to exacerbate the problem. Mary Burke is ready to go to bat for the middle class. She is ready to put Wisconsinites, not the Koch Brothers, first. What workers have seen proposed by Burke -- focusing on good job creation, raising the minimum wage, supporting citizen access to the polls, and investing in public education -- is the Wisconsin way forward.”
Candidate endorsements are democratically made with the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO Committee on Political Action (COPE Committee).
