Tens of thousands of union members rally in Madison
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin Democrats have slammed Republican Governor Scott Walker prior to a rally marking the one-year anniversary of the state Legislature passing a bill to end collective bargaining rights for most public workers.
The Wisconsin State Building Trades group held a candidate forum Saturday at a hotel near the Capitol.
The speakers included Kathleen Falk and Kathleen Vinehout, who plan to run against Walker in a possible recall election. They spoke briefly about their platforms and criticized Walker's leadership.
Thousands converged outside the Capitol on Saturday for a rally hosted by Wisconsin State AFL-CIO.
Walker's collective bargaining law stripped most public workers of their union rights. Activists protested at the Capitol before and after it passed in the Republican-controlled Legislature.
