MADISON, Wis. — Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Ben Wikler issued the following statement on Dec 2nd’s restoration of bargaining rights for public employees in Wisconsin:

“Today’s ruling marks an important victory for working people in Wisconsin, and affirms what’s long been clear—Scott Walker’s attack on public employees was not just a national disgrace, it was unconstitutional. With this decision, working families will once again have the right to organize - a right stripped away by Scott Walker’s ‘divide and conquer’ strategy that pitted working Wisconsinites against each other to the benefit of wealthy special interests.”
