Contrary to expectations in January, ordinary Wisconsinites have become heavily involved in the effort to protect worker rights. And protests are continuing, with a march scheduled for Monday, April 4, with the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Instead of a cakewalk in their legislative efforts, Republicans in Wisconsin and other states are facing a virtual* mass protest against their efforts to derail unions.
The Solidarity Organization recently formed out of the Capitol protests shows how deeply citizens are invested in this exciting movement. We may well look back on this time as the revival of the workers' rights movement in America.
* "virtual", meaning "tantamount to," not "on line"
