THE ASSOCIATED PRESS • FEBRUARY 15, 2011
MADISON — Five former and two current Green Bay Packers players are standing behind state union employees."
The seven NFL Players Association members have signed a letter supporting the AFL-CIO’s efforts against Gov. Scott Walker's budget plan to end collective bargaining rights for nearly all public employees.
Their statement says Wisconsin has a "long standing tradition of allowing public sector workers to have a voice on the job," a practice that "has worked for the state since the 1930s."
Signing the statement are Brady Poppinga and Jason Spitz along with former players Curtis Fuller, Chris Jacke, Charles Jordan, Bob Long and Steve Okoniewski.
