Dear Editor: I was born and raised in Wisconsin, a fact I am proud of. I am a proud member of AFSCME and am a blue collar employee at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
….Although I am not paid very well, I am proud of the work I do and proud of the work my co-workers do. I was proud to be a public servant in the state of Wisconsin because I was treated with dignity. Dignity because I had the right to negotiate with management to make a better workplace for myself, for my co-workers and for future employees. Gov. Walker wants to take away my rights and my dignity. Please don?t take my dignity.
