• Mahlon Mitchell & Fred Schepartz: Workers Solidarity in Wisconsin

  February 25, 2011

  Though Scott Walker has claimed that the fight in Madison is mostly outsiders being brought in by the unions, Madison residents know otherwise. Workers' rights are near and dear to the hearts of many people in Wisconsin, and not just those who are under threat of having their collective bargaining rights slashed. The Wisconsin firefighters are exempt from Walker's actions, but have been rallying in support of the workers, and Madison's Union Cab is a worker-owned collective, but they too have joined the protests.

• Bill Fletcher, Jr., Solidarity in Wisconsin & the Welfare Connection

  February 24, 2011

  "This could be the kind of social justice moment that many of us have been waiting for," says Bill Fletcher, Jr. of the Center for Labor Renewal. He points out that the revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia are not just spreading to Libya, locked in a deadly struggle with its own dictator, but in Ohio, Wisconsin, and around the US. "People are picking up on the energy and the audacity of the democratic revolt," he notes.
