First union members testify
Anthony Anastasi, president and business agent for Iron Workers 333, urged lawmakers to stop the downward spiral of “this once great state of Wisconsin” and oppose right-to-work.
Anastasi said union members in the building trades have a good relationship with management and have negotiated good, family supporting wages and benefits that were negotiated privately with contractors.
He grew emotional talking about his kids playing sports like hockey and basketball, but refused to apologize for it, saying the union has helped provide opportunities for his children.
“We can afford to put the money that w’e earned with our wages and benefits back in the community that we live in,” he said.
