The Walkerville protest tents and encampment came down at Wisconsinâs state capital after Gov Scott Walkerâs budget victory slashing education, health and other services in the state budget while increasing tax breaks for the wealthy. He even attacked child labor laws. A week earlier the State Supreme Court narrowly approved Walkerâs union busting measures stripping civil service unions of most of their effectiveness and eliminating the dues check-off. While Walker and the Republicans may loose control of the State Senate in the recall elections scheduled in July, that will come too late to reverse much of the major damage that has been done. Weâll talk with key organizers in the struggle as to what lessons have been learned and what is to be done to organize for future victories.
