‘Stick It to Walker’: Protesters Target ‘Pro’-Wisconsin Gov Companies With Stickers at Stores
April 28, 2011
Fox News reports:
The massive protests against Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's controversial budget that paralyzed the state capital for weeks are now headed for the grocery stores.But instead of marching outside stores with picket signs, protesters are planning more subversive action: placing anti-Walker stickers on products made by businesses they believe support the law that severely limits the collective bargaining power of most state workers.
The law is currently on hold pending a legal challenge.
The Wisconsin Grocery Association is warning its members to be on the lookout for opponents of Walker defacing some products in grocery stores on Sunday.
Walker opponents have urged consumers to boycott companies that have donated to the governor's campaign.
There's an effort under way to expand the boycott nationally by placing stickers on products in grocery stores.
Among the targeted products are Johnsonville brats ("these brats bust unions"), Coors beer ("labor rights flow away like a mountain stream") and Angel Soft toilet paper.
This effort is being pushed by the same pro-union people who boycotted banks and stores whose management gave to Walker's campaign.
