Mayor Dave Joins Librarians Rally

Madison's Mayor Joins Librarians' Labor-Rally Rights. (American Libraries, 3/8/2011)

Excerpt: Mayor Dave Cieslewicz joined Wisconsin’s librarians March 6 as they again assembled to march to the State Capitol in opposition to Governor Scott Walker’s Budget Repair Bill (PDF file), whose passage would dramatically curtail collective bargaining rights for public-sector employees.

“I was proud to join librarians to march to the Capitol and fight Scott Walker’s divisive policies,” Cieslewicz remarked March 8. “Librarians, like our teachers, police officers, and fire fighters make incredibly important contributions to our community. And in Madison, we know how to work together with our workers and solve our problems together.”
