VIDEO: A warning from Wisconsin

Four years ago, Scott Walker became governor of Wisconsin and launched an all-out assault on public employees. He pushed through legislation stripping state, university and city/county workers of their right to bargain collectively. The impact was immediate and devastating.

Now, billionaire CEO Bruce Rauner is running for Illinois governor and vowing to copy Walker's extreme agenda. Our neighbors to the north have a personal message about what this would mean for AFSCME members here. Watch this brand-new video to hear directly from public-service workers in Wisconsin:

After you've watched, here are three steps you can take to help spread the word and make a difference:

  1. Share the video on Facebook.
  2. Email the video to your co-workers and friends.
  3. Sign up as a volunteer in your area to help stop Bruce Rauner.
