A local union plans to picket at the grand opening of the $205 million Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery (WID), because restaurants in the private part of the facility will not be using union workers. Local 171 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) will rally at 12:30 p.m. Thursday at the new research facility in the 1300 block of University Avenue, according to a release from the local.
