Union Thugs Threaten Wisconsin Businesses and Donors




Union thugs are threatening Wisconsin businesses with boycotts. Emails have been sent to public employee’s instructing them to hand out placards that display the union solidarity logo to local businesses to put in store front windows, or else:


“All public employees are being urged to look for this sign in business windows.”


From the Union Rep: “I encourage you to utilize your own business contacts and urge them to hang this prominently in their window. The explanation that I’ve found works best if they are apprehensive is that this is about local dollars, not politics. If our buying power is destroyed—their business will be affected adversely. Please let your area lead know which businesses you get to participate so that they might compile a list to distribute to the members.”


The County Employee also received an email with the Union “Business Card” and was instructed to “make copies of the business cards” and “distribute to each business where you spend money.”


Now, these union goons are directly contacting donors, threatening them with retribution:

While we appreciate that you may need some time to consider thisrequest, we ask for your response by March 17. In the event that you do notrespond to this request by that date, we will assume that you stand withGovernor Walker and against the teachers, nurses, police officers, fire fighters,and other dedicated public employees who serve our communities.


In the event that you cannot support this effort to save collective bargaining,please be advised that the undersigned will publicly and formally boycott thegoods and services provided by your company. However, if you join us, we willdo everything in our power to publicly celebrate your partnership in the fight topreserve the right of public employees to be heard at thebargainingtable.Wisconsin’spublic employee unions serve to protect and promote equality andfairness in the workplace.
