Unjust War on Working Families

Green Bay Packer Great Charles Woodson Releases a Statement in Firm Support of Wisconsin Union Workers

STATEMENT FROM GREEN BAY PACKER CHARLES WOODSON IN
SUPPORT OF WORKING FAMILIES IN WISCONSIN

Last week I was proud when many of my current and former teammates announced their support for the working families fighting for their rights in Wisconsin. Today I am honored to join with them.

Thousands of dedicated Wisconsin public workers provide vital services for Wisconsin citizens. They are the teachers, nurses and child care workers who take care of us and our families. These hard working people are under an unprecedented attack to take away their basic rights to have a voice and collectively bargain at work.

It is an honor for me to play for the Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers and be a part of the Green Bay and Wisconsin communities. I am also honored as a member of the NFL Players Association to stand together with working families of Wisconsin and organized labor in their fight against this attempt to hurt them by targeting unions. I hope those leading the attack will sit down with Wisconsin's public workers and discuss the problems Wisconsin faces, so that together they can truly move Wisconsin forward.

--Charles Woodson, Green Bay Packers cornerback and one of the team’s elected representatives to the players union

Since the Wisconsin Uprising of 2011, when hundreds of thousands of workers rallied on behalf of labor rights, support for unions has surged. History will record the fight by Wisconsinites and allies across the country as the critical juncture where labor’s march began anew! pic.twitter.com/qFGb3EJtkI
