Standing up for Workers Rights

Petition Turn-in Celebration is Tuesday, January 17th. Together, we are making history by standing up for our Wisconsin and Workers Rights. For more information please go to United Wisconsin, We Are Wisconsin, Recall Walker Headquarters or call 608-692-9720. You may also visit AFT-Wisconsin for other events.

Join Now to Protect Your Rights

Walker thinks he can cripple our union by making payroll deduction for union dues illegal. By re-committing to our union and continuing membership, we are standing strong and sending a message: Walker can't legislate away our union, he can't decide that we don't have power, he doesn't decide – we do.

Since We Can Only Bargain For Wages, Why Be In The WSP Union?

To join in building our union, click the button below and continue your union membership and our ability to fight Walker, his agenda and the stripping of our rights. You'll be redirected to a secure website where you can sign up to continue your membership no matter what Walker says. This information is for union purposes only and will never be shared with an outside party. Deductions will only begin if payroll dues deduction is eliminated, and your information will be kept secure.

We can build our union and take back Wisconsin. It's all up to us. Who decides? We decide!

AFT President Randi Weingarten Discusses Importance of Ohio Election Results

In her latest "What Matters Most" column, which appears in the New York Times, AFT president Randi Weingarten discusses the importance of the Ohio vote, as well as results in other states that showed voters are fed up with politicians who thought they could exploit a tough economy to advance extremist agendas. Those results are sending a message that legislators need to heed.

Ohio Vote Is a Big Victory for the Middle Class

The citizens of Ohio took back their state with a historic vote on Nov. 8 to repeal Senate Bill 5. The vote, which marks the first time that the collective bargaining rights of public employees have been upheld on a statewide ballot, sends a clear signal that Ohioans will not sit idly by while politicians scapegoat hard-working public employees for an economic crisis they did not create.
