Wisconsin is experiencing significant labor protests, with over 20,000 people gathering at the Capitol in response to Governor Scott Walker's proposal to eliminate collective bargaining rights for public workers. Many schools are closing as teachers participate in the protests, reflecting a deep divide among residents regarding labor rights and union protections. The situation has drawn comparisons to the protests in Cairo, highlighting the intensity of the unrest. While some support the proposed wage and benefit cuts, concerns about the stripping of collective bargaining rights under the Freedom of Association are prevalent. The ongoing protests raise questions about the future of labor relations and the potential for similar movements in other states.
