An address from…

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers

“Unions have been at the forefront of our state and nation’s progress for generations. It is thanks to union members that are state is the strong position it’s in today,” stated Governor Tony Evers in his address to delegates.

Having declared 2024 the Year of the Worker in Wisconsin, Governor Evers went over his new initiatives to reduce barriers to work, support new apprenticeship opportunities, and bolster our state’s ability to retain workers to support critical sectors across the economy.

“We are not letting up on our work to grow and build Wisconsin’s workforce in 2024 and beyond,” continued Gov. Evers. “We are going to continue our fight to restore collective bargaining rights and prevailing wage protections. Fight to repeal right to work and improve protections for wage theft and worker misclassification. That is a promise.”
