The struggle that has captured the imagination of union members across the nation. Labor Beat's "Battle Front Wisconsin" covers the ongoing fightback in Madison and the dramatic first weekend as massive crowds suddenly appeared at the capitol. There, a right-wing state government launched an attack to gut public sector unions by stripping them of collective bargaining rights, membership, dues collection, and a host of other assaults on what it means to be in a union. Teachers, municipal workers, students, and their supporters (even police and firefighters) have rallied constantly to demand "Kill The Bill." Labor Beat producer Andrew Friend spoke with union activists, University of Wisconsin students, and those showing their solidarity in this opening battle in an interstate war for workers' rights. Length: 27 min 47 sec; hi-def.
