to the other;

Wisconsin Democrats
@WisDems
On this day, 138 years ago, massive worker demonstrations began in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as laborers demanded 8-hour work days, and 4 days later it resulted in the bloodiest la­bor disturbance in Wisconsin’s history. This spurred a massive change in Wisconsin for decades and solidified us as a state with a strong pro-labor history.

The WisDems proudly carry on that history and stand with and fight for labor and workers’ rights. Learn more about our history this May Day here: https://milwaukeelabor.org/2020/05/01/a-brief-history-of-international-workers-day-may-day/

Wisconsin has always been at the front lines of the fight for unions and working people, from the Bay View Massacre in 1886 to the first comprehensive public sector union law in 1959.https://t.co/B06Ue9ERSL

Trump wants votes from union members, but he stiffs them just as surely as he stiffed his own contractors. He’ll promise the world. But North American Building Trade Unions President Sean McGarvey knows what becomes of those promises—watch:https://t.co/W9IUCEMF9L

Trump packed the Supreme Court with anti-labor justices. Thanks to his appointment of Neil Gorsuch, in 2018 the right-leaning court ruled 5-4 in a case that gutted public sector unions. https://t.co/1iIPVkceSo

During 2023’s UAW strike, Trump sought UAW’s endorsement by speaking at an auto parts plant in Michigan. Too bad the plant was non-union. Non-union folks held “Autoworkers for Trump” signs. For workers, Trump talks the talk, but won’t walk the walk. https://t.co/OqjzJzbpnF

Over and over, President Biden shows why he’s the most pro-union president in history, reaching out to organizers at union-averse companies like Starbucks and Amazon to show his support for employees’ efforts to unionize. https://t.co/KWlANM1VAM

Unlike Trump, @JoeBiden believes unions mean a stronger workforce. In 2021, he established a White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment to encourage more union organizing.https://t.co/QmIhfhvhtR

And while Trump’s NLRB cronies tried to undo labor progress, Biden’s appointees are doing what the board was meant to do—protect and support union workers.https://t.co/MzqOy0OQO6

In 2011, Gov. Scott Walker’s Act 10 stripped bargaining power from public employees. Walker and the GOP went on to pass a so-called right-to-work law smashing private sector unions as well. This century, no state has had a bigger decline in union density than Wisconsin. pic.twitter.com/p7kMHPSEAC

And in 2023, at long last, union membership in Wisconsin started going up. In his State of the State Address, Governor @Tony4WI declared the Year of the Worker.https://t.co/QL7ZBN6d5C

Trump wants to bamboozle Wisconsin workers about his agenda.@WisDems—a proud union shop!—is fighting back. We want every worker to know who’s on their side, and who isn’t.

We need your help. Chip in any amount: https://t.co/8s8smXAa1c

Wisconsin has about 205,000 union members. Trump’s margin of victory in 2016 here was 22,748. In 2020, Biden won by 20,682. Union members can decide Wisconsin. And Wisconsin can decide this whole national election.https://t.co/KmZqw1BgQd

Unions will be doing all they can to inform and mobilize their members. Your help can ensure that @WisDems can do the same. This election is a jump ball—and with your help, we’ll scale up our organizing and comms work and ensure truth defeats lies. https://t.co/8s8smXAa1c
