It's all about Union Busting. The union has agreed to all wage and benefit concessions. The only thing they want is their right to collectively bargain. If we lose that in America then expect the rest of the workers rights to fall. No more minimum wage laws, no more unemployment benefits, no more social security. I hope you all understand where this is going. It won't be pretty and everyone that has to work for a living will suffer greatly. If you care for you children vote progressive!

In case you republicans are watching, students are there too. Continue down this path, lose Wisconsin for a generation

Liberals are just nasty people, especially teachers. Look how they protested against Bush not extending American constitutional rights to terrorists at Gitmo, yet are silent on Obamas bypassing of Due Process grnteed to US citizens.

Look at the liberals in teaching. Just a nasty people

All workers should be outraged as 99% of us are workers. An attack on one is an attack on all. Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. how can mainstreet win when wallstreet is buying up our politicians. however we all have one thing that no one can take away from us no matter how poor we are and that is our vote. So wisconsin remember to go out and vote June 5th!!!

I first saw this on vimeo shortly after this went down. Not sure if the poster of this is the same guy.....but you are a talented filmmaker/editor!

Are you seriously arguing that the next step by Gov. Walker is to lower minimum wage? How don't you understand that Act 10 was designed to create more opportunity for the worker than to lower his pay. Wisconsin was in massive debt and Walker brought it out of that financial state and your first notion is to complain about how he hypothetically will go on to lower minimum wage? Please provide some evidence to prove any of the crap you're spewing while you try to achieve a top comment.

These are the people that put a firecracker under everyone's collective ass...not OWS. Thank you Wisconsin. You woke up this country and gave us a voice.

I friggin love this video. I'm a Madison teacher and continue the fight.  This vid captures the feeling of solidarity and the power that came with it.
