Protests are continuing in Wisconsin over a bill that would eliminate almost all collective bargaining rights for public workers and slash their pay and benefits. On Tuesday, an estimated 10,000 people gathered at the Capitol building in Madison, Wisconsin. Protests were also held at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and high schools around the state. In a statement, Wisconsin’s professional football team, the community-owned Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers, backed the workers’ right to collective bargaining, saying: “Wisconsin’s long standing tradition of allowing public sector workers to have a voice on the job has worked for the state since the 1930s … These public workers are Wisconsin’s champions every single day and we urge the governor and the State Legislature to not take away their rights.”
