| Elevated view of a large crowd gathered on the Capitol Square to protest the passage of the Act 10 bill and greet the return of the 14 Senate Democrats who left the state in an attempt to delay passage of the bill. On the day before this protest, Gov. Scott Walker signed into law the proposal that eliminated most union rights for public employees, saying he had "no doubt" that support for the measure would grow over time. The governor's signature on the bill quietly concluded a debate over collective bargaining that provoked three weeks of loud, relentless protests at the Capitol. The governor insisted the proposal was necessary to balance the state budget. The drama touched off an intense national debate over labor rights for public employees. |
