In one of the largest protests in recent memory, thousands of angry union supporters gathered at the state Capitol on Tuesday to oppose a bill by Gov. Scott Walker that would greatly weaken organized labor in Wisconsin. More than 12,000 protesters gathered in two separate rallies outside the Capitol, many of them carrying signs and chanting “Recall Walker” or “Kill this bill.” Thousands more crowded inside the rotunda and watched TV monitors broadcasting a public hearing on the governor’s proposal.
