Le gouverneur du Maine est républicain... Cette décision ne m'apparaît pas stratégique au moment où d'autres gouverneurs attaquent les "acquis" des syndicats. Je ne me prononce pas sur le bien-fondé de ces luttes, mais je crois que le gouverneur du Maine pouvait attendre un moment plus opportun pour procéder au changement... En multipliant les "attaques", les républicains risquent de faire le jeu des démocrates pour 2012...
"Maine GOP Gov. Paul LePage followed through with his decision to remove a mural depicting the history of the workers' movement from the lobby of the state's Department of Labor, a spokeswoman said Monday.
"The mural has been removed and is in storage awaiting relocation to a more appropriate venue," said LePage press secretary Adrienne Bennett in a prepared statement. "We understand that not everyone agrees with this decision, but the Maine Department of Labor has to be focused on the job at hand."
The controversy over the 36-foot-long, 11-panel mural erupted last week when a LePage administration official announced that the artwork would be removed and that conference rooms dedicated to American labor movement icons would be renamed.
Administration officials said the change was needed to reflect a new image for the department, one not tilted toward organized labor. They said visitors to the lobby had complained that the mural is anti-business."
