Labor group calls for general strike if budget repair bill is approved

The South Central Federation of Labor is calling for a general strike of close to 100 unions, representing about 45,000 workers, if Gov. Scott Walker?s budget repair bill is passed by the state legislature and signed into law by the governor.

The SCFL endorsed two motions at a meeting Monday night, one opposing all provisions in the bill and the other calling for the general strike if the bill becomes law.
