Pro-Worker Rallies Held in 6 States

HeadlineMar 09, 2011

The passage of the Idaho anti-union measure comes as protesters held rallies for workers’ rights in six other states. In Michigan, more than 1,000 people rallied at the State Capitol in Lansing to oppose a measure allowing the breaking of labor contracts by placing schools and districts under emergency management. In a scene reminiscent of Wisconsin, hundreds of demonstrators packed the Capitol Rotunda, chanting slogans. Protests were also held Tuesday against anti-union measures in Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Florida and Tennessee.
