This week is Public Employee Recognition week, as well as Correctional Employee Recognition week. We don’t know who established these observations, but certainly Scott Walker is taking advantage of them. By now, most of you have either received a memo from your Department Secretaries, or seen the self-serving, aggrandizing, patronizing video sent out today by the Governor. We are incredulous that this governor is two-faced enough to try and pretend he is concerned about state employees and what they do. If he was really committed to pubic service, he would not be assaulting your rights every day; and he would not be constantly attacking the unions that represent these public employees.
We are here to tell you that the only entity and the only people concerned about you as a state employee and/or correctional employee is your union. And we live this commitment every day in an honest, open, sincere fashion – not for political mileage.
If you have a chance this week to send the governor a message, please be extremely candid about how you feel and the way he is treating you as a public employee when he classifies you as a “have” and continues to lie to the world that you are somehow getting rich off the taxpayers.
Finally, a most sincere THANK YOU for all that you do as a public employee from your friends at AFSCME – the folks who do have a clue what you do every day for the citizens of this great state.
