WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?

Actors' Equity Association: "You have undoubtedly been following the events in Wisconsin where Governor Scott Walker has decided that the best way to balance the state budget - a budget that, before Governor Walker took office and authorized some pro-business tax cuts, was scheduled to show a surplus -- is to ask the state's union member public employees to pay more for their health insurance coverage and to pay more for their retirement benefits. You may feel that this is not your fight: 'Hey, I don't live in Wisconsin and I'm not a public employee.' As a union leader, I believe there are deeper and better-lined pockets in which the money necessary to make up the budget deficit (whatever its origin) might be found, and I believe this IS your fight.
