A morning-after broadcast email from Richard Trumka, head of the 
AFL-CIO, has this denial for its second paragraph, opening sentence in 
bold: "Last night, Wisconsin took back its Senate. While Gov. Walker 
remains in office after being only the third governor in American 
history subjected to the humiliation of a recall, his divisive agenda 
has been stopped cold."

Meanwhile, the attack on public employees and on the education, a large 
portion of health care, and the other vital services they perform moves 
to California. Governor Jerry Brown has a November ballot proposal based 
on this platform.

Was there a caucus of public workers in Wisconsin who advocated a 
program of counterattack and defense against the scapegoating of public 
workers? The demands would include an end to spiking, equal pension 
accrual per year of service without regard to salary level, and taxes on 
the rich.

and the other representing corporate interests, the people of Wisconsin 
chose the corporate interests. Anyone offering any other interpretation 
is just deluding themselves.
