Statement of Executive Director Martin Beil

Regarding the 6/14/11 Supreme Court Ruling

Make no mistake - yesterday’s ruling by the Wisconsin Supreme Court inflicts a body blow on organized labor in our state. However, I am here to tell you that the lights are still on, and we are still here fighting.

If you find yourself feeling angry over this latest episode of “fast and loose” with the laws, standards, protocol and procedure that has served our state well for many years, I urge you to focus that anger and concern on the recall elections. The battleground must now shift to these elections. We need to turn our frustration to ACTION. Clearly, unseating these incumbents is the best way to make our voices heard.

Stand tall, be proud of what you do for the citizens of this state and get involved TODAY. These campaigns can use help in many different ways – there is absolutely a job that everyone can do. Start by visiting the SEPAC website (www.wseu-sepac.org) for contact information in your area. This is it. The time is now – the implications could not be more serious.

Lastly, a word to those who have not yet signed up to voluntarily pay dues. If you were waiting for the “bomb” to drop – that day is here. Go to our websites and click on “Join the Fight” TODAY. We need your support so that we can continue the fight to support all of you.

On day longer – one day stronger.
