The struggle that has captured the imagination of union members across the nation, the newest Labor Beat episode "Battle Front Wisconsin" covers the ongoing fightback in Madison. There, a right-wing state government is attempting to gut public sector unions by stripping them of collective bargaining rights, membership, dues collection, and a host of other attacks on what it means to be in a union. Teachers, municipal workers, students, and their supporters (even police and firefighters) have rallied constantly to demand we "Kill The Bill." Labor Beat producer Andrew Friend spoke with union activists, University of Wisconsin students, and those showing their solidarity in what is shaping up to be the opening battle in an interstate war for workers' rights.
