'Pearl Harbor of workers' rights:' Unions launch morning protests across Wisconsin

(The following appeared on the Huffington Post website on March 10, 2011.)

In the wake of the Wisconsin Senate's end-run to strip public employees of collective bargaining rights, thousands of angry protesters descended again on the state capital.

And the top labor unions are organizing state-wide protests Thursday morning, providing information on websites and social media sites such as Twitter.

State Senator Tim Carpenter (D-Wisc.) put the issue bluntly on MSNBC: "This is our Pearl Harbor of workers' rights. The governor has really been out of bounds with a sneak attack in the middle of the night without any public notice, without any input from many hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites who have expressed their views. It's a sad day for Wisconsin.".
