Wisconsin labor, student groups organize protests against Walker’s public union plans

Wisconsin public employee unions and their supporters are currently engaged in planning their response to Governor Scott Walker?s program to curtail negotiating and organizing rights via a budget bill announced Friday. Three public protests and lobbying efforts at the state Capitol in Madison are planned for next week, and at least one longer-term plan for a sustained campaign against the governor and his Republican and associated allies are in the works.
