Seemed to spring yesterday in New York. End temperatures above zero were good allies of the event in support of workers in Wisconsin and their legal battle against a shameful measure of the state government, which aims to wipe out those "privileges" and, thanks to decades of union negotiations, they've allowed a more dignified life.
For weeks, the battle in Wisconsin does not shut down and the demonstrators, now coordinated by groups of volunteers from all over the country, are growing in number so that on Saturday, gave rise to one of the most massive protests in decades. The battle for workers who may be forced, inter alia, to pay more money for health care, currently borne by the employer, is supported by the majority of the public so that the protesters are being offered, from ordinary citizens, beds and food.
The origin of everything, the decision to attack the unions, made by Governor Scott Walker, a member of the Tea Party came to power thanks to the support of the Koch brothers, who, for comparison, have declared war on Barack Obama and its policy "green" and they did to the sound of billions subsidizing the campaigns of people like Walker.
It is worth mentioning that Koch Industries, mainly active in energy production and oil refining, were classified in 2008 by Forbes magazine as the second largest private company in the United States with an annual turnover of 98 billion dollars. Koch Industries, however, also holds another record (or almost) represented by the number of cases in which it was involved for malicious behavior against the environment, about 300 of which almost all of them ended in a conviction.
As it happens, in recent elections, the Koch supported, financially, many Republicans (particularly members of the Tea Party) who have signed formal commitments to fight any attempt to "green" government. The shadow of the Koch brothers and the upcoming 2012 elections pose a material to ridicule the claim of the governor, according to which the anti trade union that is trying to impose are determined by the need to budget.
It 'clear, in fact, that the objective is to pursue an attempt to dismantle the unions as reservoirs of electoral support for Democrats. That this should be done, weighing on the finances and the safety of employees who already are struggling to resist the economic crisis, never mind. Reduce the strength of the union is for the Republicans / teapartisti, an essential need in their race election, it is now clear, will be carried out with absolute impartiality and not hidden.
Do not forget that the unfortunate decision of the Supreme Court to remove the ceiling of financial assistance which was imposed on individuals during the election campaign, has already hit hard this principle of transparency on which you could still count. The question is whether the Koch brothers have even heard of bunga bunga or, at least if one remains a prerogative of our local way.
