Employee Relations

Republican
governor Republican Scott Walker stirred up a hotbed of controversy
with his stance on public labor unions in Wisconsin. Walker proposed
removing collective bargaining from the state’s public employees
curtailing the rights of teachers, firefighters, and other public
employees to collectively bargain for healthcare, pension and other
benefits. This political move brought attention to the plight of labor.
In response, labor mobilized and took to the streets with opposition.
This eventually led to an unsuccessful, but close recall election.

Residents
of Wisconsin, however, were not just up in arms with Republicans. Many
are also upset with President Obama’s inability to lead the nation out
of the economic slump. With unemployment rates high, many believe that
something needs to change. This has led to widespread discontent and
frustration with both Governor Walker and President Obama.
