Recall Election Tests Strategies for November

But among the largest donors to Mr. Walker and his cause are the plants
owners, the billionaire industrialists Charles G. and David H. Koch, the
latter of whom has said of the recall election to be held in June, If the
unions win the recall, there will be no stopping union power.
.
The recall vote here has been billed as a critical test of labor muscle
versus corporate money. But it is only a warm-up for a confrontation that
will play out during the presidential election, which both sides view as
the biggest political showdown in at least 30 years between pro- and
anti-union forces a labor-management fight writ large.
.
The same national groups flooding the streets and the airwaves in
Wisconsin the Koch-supported group Americans for Prosperity on the right,
the A.F.L.-C.I.O., teachers unions and the United Steelworkers on the left
are emerging as important outside supporters of President Obama and Mitt
Romney, each side empowered by the Supreme Courts Citizens United
decision.
.
That ruling is not only giving wealthy donors like the Kochs greater
options for pouring tens of millions of dollars into the presidential
election. It is also giving unions many of them representing workers in
some of the major donors own factories the ability for the first time
ever to spend money from union treasuries for campaigning among nonunion
voters.
.
The combination of the squeeze on state budgets, high rates of
unemployment and the conservative movements revived energy provided an
opening for Republican efforts, often business-backed, to promote
tough-on-labor legislation in key states. Those efforts have succeeded in
rolling back gains made by unions over decades, prompting vows from labor
to fight back with newly engaged members shaken from self-described
complacency.
.
The steelworkers will be working harder this year than in 2008, because we
can see what can happen, Michael Bolton, the director of the United
Steelworkers unit representing 48,000 workers in Wisconsin and Michigan
including many hundreds in Koch facilities said in an interview last week
at his office in Menasha, Wis.
.
The steelworkers will be part of a broader effort that national union
strategists say will fill the streets in battleground states with hundreds
of thousands of their members, who will go door to door telling union
colleagues and, for the first time, nonunion households why they should
vote for Mr. Obama. The A.F.L.-C.I.O.s political director, Mike Podhorzer,
said his organization, which reached 25 million voters in 2008, would
easily exceed that this year.
