Unions: This time, we’ll defeat Walker

The Hill reports:
Labor groups are gearing up for another fight with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) now that he has entered the presidential race.

After a failed recall bid in Wisconsin, unions are determined to make sure Walker never sets foot in the Oval Office. But organized labor’s opposition could play well for Walker in the GOP primary because it appeals to his conservative base.

Some of the biggest unions are still formulating their plan of attack against Walker, even as they signal they will dip into their coffers to go after him. The strongest signal came from AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka.

“Scott Walker is a national disgrace,” Trumka said in a six-word statement rebuking the Wisconsin governor.
We are sure Richard Trumka knows all about disgraces.
