When Wisconsin Democrats launched their recall drive against Republican Gov. Scott Walker last year, it was all about unions. They wanted Walker to pay with his job for pushing legislation that stripped almost all public workers of nearly all their collective bargaining rights.
As a Republican, state Sen. Pam Galloway knows she might be as unwelcome as rain at this weekend's Labor Day parade in Wisconsin. The threat of possible hecklers, though, won't keep her from the event.
Millions of demonstrators around the world marched for labor rights Sunday, including thousands in Wisconsin who continued their divisive battle over collective-bargaining rights that began in February and had prompted huge masses of protesters to pour into the Madison Capitol.
