Dr. Frank Emspak to Speak in Ridgeland, Wisc! Forging a Prosperous Working Class: The Union Movement and the Wisconsin Idea

Are you aware that Wisconsin was a leader in recognizing the right of public workers to organize? Are you curious about why Wisconsin’s public workers have reacted so strongly against proposals to deny them the right to collectively bargain over working conditions? Are you wondering how we should move forward?
