Protests are continuing in Wisconsin against Governor Scott Walker’s effort to remove the collective bargaining rights of public employees. Walker is increasingly seeking support from other states, urging leaders in Michigan and Florida to invoke budget woes to extract concessions from public workers. Meanwhile, in Ohio, Republican state senators have offered to amend proposed legislation to allow unionized state employees to collectively bargain for their wages. A bill that would have restricted those rights has drawn thousands to protest at the Capitol in Columbus this week. According to a recent Gallup poll, 61 percent of Americans oppose stripping unions of collective bargaining rights, while just 33 percent support it.
