Leslie is re-joined by International President of the United Steelworkers Union (USW), Leo Gerard. They discussed Scott Walker's recent right-to-work legislation and a USW backed oil refinery strike/bargaining.

President Gerard believes that despite the growing disparity in income and wealth, Republicans like Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker look to further squeeze working Americans. Right-to-work legislation lowers income for workers and harms collective bargaining efforts by forbidding corporations and unions from negotiating contracts.

They discuss how if this is what Walker is doing as Governor of Wisconsin, what would it be like if he was President?

Leslie and Leo went on to briefly discuss the USW Oil Workers' Strike, where a work stoppage had been launched at major oil refineries around the U.S. until safer working conditions were agreed upon.

Since March 12th, a tentative agreement has been reached. President Gerard says that the new agreement will set a precedent for the rest of the oil industry.
