Rally in St. Paul Tuesday in solidarity with Wisconsin workers

18 February 2011

ST. PAUL - The Minnesota AFL-CIO has called a rally Tuesday at the state Capitol to show solidarity with workers demonstrating in Wisconsin against Governor Scott Walker’s attack on collective bargaining rights.

The rally will start at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 22, in the rotunda of the state Capitol.

Some 250 miles away in Madison, Wisconsin residents have occupied the Capitol building and surrounding streets to protest Walker’s plan to take away the right to a union from nearly all public service workers. Democratic lawmakers have left the state in protest to prevent a vote on the measure.

“Workers, high school and college students, community members, religious groups and concerned citizens have dropped their daily lives to rally against Gov. Scott Walker’s Draconian attacks on middle-class jobs and his proposal to strip Wisconsin teachers, nurses, social workers and other public employees of their collective bargaining rights,” the Minnesota AFL-CIO said. “It’s time for Minnesotans to stand in solidarity with them.”
