Falk gets endorsement from healthcare union


I know this is old news, but wanted to post in light of the Democratic Convention being held in a right to work state this year....Those who will work for our Unions and workers rights need to be re-highlighted...

"Palmer said that by looking at Falk’s previous experience as Dane County executive, they viewed Falk as an ideal candidate to endorse because she kept a balanced budget and made Madison a good place to live and work.

She added the union has had the experience of working with Falk before, and the parties have worked together as a union, as citizens and as management.

Palmer said Falk has been clear with them, unlike Gov. Scott Walker, and will work hard to restore collective bargaining rights.

In a statement released by Falk, she said she was proud to have gained support from the healthcare union."http://badgerherald.com/news/2012/02/23/falk_gets_endorsemen.php
