BUFFALO, NY (WBFO) - Representatives of public employee unions in New York are supporting their fellow union members in Wisconsin.

Republican elected leaders in Wisconsin are pushing a bill that would end collective bargaining rights for government employees. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker defends his proposal, saying it's needed to bring down the high cost of government.

The Civil Services Employees Association represents thousands of government workers in New York. CSEA spokesman Steve Madarasz says what's happening in Wisconsin is an assault on American values.

"CSEA actually has a contingent in Wisconsin to express solidarity with the folks there," Madarasz said. "This is really a serious situation that does not bode well for our democracy."
