Organizers of Wausau's Labor Day parade say Republican lawmakers aren't welcome in this year's event.

The Marathon County Central Labor Council sponsors the September 5th parade. The council includes about 30 local unions from the Marathon County area.

Council president Randy Radtke says they choose not to invite elected officials who have "openly attacked worker's rights" or did nothing to intervene.

That’s okay.
Democrats aren’t welcome at 4th of July parades.
Oh, I forgot. THEY DON’T GO ANYWAY...........................

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Next they'll be placing bombs in cars of people who don't support them.

They've done it before.

But we're the terrorists.

[roaddog727]

Gee.

WOuldn’t it be a hoot if the “officials” in charge of handing out parade permits were Republican, and the parade permit was denied.......

LOL

[dusttoyou]

Randy Radtke ... don’t that name ring a bell??

[max americana]

I agree. Union scum won’t vote for Pubbies’ anyways and it’s a lost cause.

[Cheetahcat]

Those are Filthy Communists our enemy, We do not need to be seen there,Take out a full page Ad and explain why!

[Texas Eagle]

Good!

The first thing President Perry should do is change the name of Labor Day to Free Enterprise Day.

RATS can take part if they wish.

[Texas Eagle]

Labor Day is the only holiday on which I don't fly the flag.

Flame away if you must. I'm prepared for it.

[TexasCajun]

Maybe we ought to see about excluding Democrats from 4th of July celebrations.

On 2nd thought, never-mind. ...most are at home sulking anyway.

[redgolum]

I am honestly surprised it hasn’t erupted into violence yet.

It will. The public sector has the means to use a lot of violence, and some of it under the authority of law.

Just look at the cop and military pension fight.

You are assuming liberals can read.

Good point. Increasingly, they don't much care for actual "labor", either. At least not if they have to work.

[no-to-illegals]

Fear on display from the left? Can’t keep people in line, if they have no fear.

[PfromHoGro]

Just from this thread’s headline, I knew it was going to be in Wisconsin. It’s just who they are.

[RockinRight]

What about the worker’s right to have their employer NOT GO OUT OF BUSINESS DUE TO OVERREGULATION AND A SH*TTY ECONOMY?

[dragonblustar]

Labor Day is the only holiday on which I don't fly the flag. Flame away if you must. I'm prepared for it.

My dad use to fly the flag upside down on that day. ( He did this during the Clinton era..) He was a WWII vet, who quit high school early to join too.

That is a good idea in general...the idea of beginning to change THEIR symbolic days and celebrations, change THEIR words, change THEIR culture. That is what they have done, bit by bit to our culture. We HAD to have MLK day and we HAD to get rid of Washington’s Birthday and Lincoln’s Birthday as official holidays and combine them into the absurd and meaningless “President’s Day.” We HAD to change the names of schools and streets from historic American names to names of their chosen heroes. We HAD to get rid of the things in schools which connected generations of children back to things their grandparents had done, etc. But in no instance can I think of something that changed the other way. So yes, it would be fun to erase or change something that they hold dear.

[redreno]

Hopefully, they’ll go as private citizens and watch & mingle with the crowd. Be brave.

ROFLMAO I'm going to send that as a quote to my teacher's union reps just to watch their heads explode....
