Warning</B></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=+1><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=+1>The 97-union South Central Federation of Labor,
representing 45,000 workers in Madison and South Central Wisconsin, went on
record Monday, February 21, as opposing<I><B> all</B></I> provisions contained
in Walker's "Budget Repair Bill." It also voted to endorse preparations for a
general strike.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=+1><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=+1>While this is just a threat at this point and not
a call to go out on general strike, the decision is a tremendous step forward.
There have been only a handful of general strikes in U.S. history and none since
the Taft-Hartley Act outlawed them in 1947. So the mere talk of a general strike
is dramatic in itself. To mount such a strike would take much effort and
courage, but if shutting down the economy is what is needed to get Governor's
Walker's bill repealed, without compromises, then that's what labor needs to do
-- both in Wisconsin and the rest of the country. --<B> Editors/The
