He did nothing to support Union members in Wisconsin 4 years ago. Never did put on this walking shoes as he promised.

He abandoned his pro labor platform and has pushed no pro labor legislation, as he said he would when he was campaigning.

So he gave a speech last weekend and said nice things about unions and we union members are supposed to forget he has done nothing to support labor since he took office??!

Because he gave a nice speech. SMH
