100,000 Protest Wisconsin Collective Bargaining Bill

CommentPost a Comment

Mark Hirsch/Getty Images(MADISON, Wisc.) -- In the largest demonstration yet, about 100,000 people protested in Wisconsin's capital this weekend against the recently-approved bill repressing union rights.

Gov. Scott Walker signed the bill on Friday, severely limiting collective bargaining rights.

The demonstration coincided with the return of the 14 Democratic state senators who left the state to prevent a voting quorum.
