Fight for the middle class in your state capital!

This area is dedicated to the battlegrounds in states such as Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, New Jersey and elsewhere where Republican governors and GOP-dominated legislatures are trying to pay back their political contributors by stripping hard-working state and other public workers of their rights to
collectively bargain.

Many of these same public officials are also trying to make their states so-called "Right-to-Work" states, where they can try to demolish the gains unions in the public and private sector have brought to all workers
