HOUSTON – Big Labor plans to target strong Republican governors like Wisconsin’s Scott Walker in the next election, and the unions are prepared to spend over $300 million to take them out.

Lee Saunders, chairman of the AFL-CIO’s political committee and Mike Podhorzer, the union’s political director, outlined the union’s strategy for the November elections following an AFL-CIO executive council meeting in Houston Tuesday, according to People’s World.

Those on Big Labor’s political hit list include Florida Gov. Rick Scott, Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Pennsylvania Tom Corbett and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, the news site reports.

The union officials told the media they’ll also focus on U.S. Senate races with vulnerable Democrats and Republicans in hopes of maintaining Democratic control of that chamber.

Podhorzer “identified the eight states where labor would defend incumbent Democrats as West Virginia, Montana, Michigan, Louisiana, Iowa, Alaska, Arkansas and North Carolina and two states, Kentucky and Georgia, as the states where it was possible to defeat incumbent Republicans,” People’s World reports.

(Podhorzer is in for a surprise, as Michigan’s Senate contest does not feature an incumbent.)

The labor leaders, however, conceded there’s little hope for Democrats to reclaim the U.S. House, though Podhorzer said “we’re not giving up on making gains, particularly in the battleground states.”

People’s World reports a Hart Research poll conducted this month in the five states targeted by the unions shows high dissatisfaction with wages is a problem for the GOP governors, and Big Labor plans to make the issue a key to its campaign.

“Across the five battleground states, 61 percent of voters feel that it should be an extremely important priority for the governor and legislature to ‘make sure that people are paid enough to support their families (saying 9 or 10 on a scale of 0-10). This is a far higher priority for voters than conservatives’ priority of reducing taxes,’” the news site reports.

Of course, American Federation of Teachers President Rhonda “Randi” Weingarten is fully on board with the political action plan, and is already trumpeting the Big Labor message about the “war” against the little people.

“In states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Florida a war is being waged against the people and their standard of living,” she told People’s World. “The states are where people live and we want to focus on where the people are.”

There’s only one little snafu with Big Labor’s political game plan: Many, many residents in the five states identified by labor bosses are much better off – both individually and as a state – than they were during the 2010 mid-term election, when the unions essentially used the same tired class warfare message they’re banking on for 2014.

And we all know how that election turned out.
