Workers Rally in Wisconsin

By James Parks

Working people in Wisconsin continued to protest Gov. Scott Walker’s anti-worker agenda with a march and rally at the state capitol in Madison. Iraq war veterans and union members, especially from the Machinists (IAM)  and OPEIU are circling the Statehouse.  Check out these tweets from  the rally:
