The Wisconsin state Senate on Wednesday night narrowly approved a proposal to make Wisconsin the 25th right-to-work state in the nation, as thousands of demonstrators protested the measure at the state capitol.
The Republican-led state Senate was expected to approve the bill, which would prohibit requiring private sector workers to join or financially support unions, and move it to the state Assembly, where Republicans also hold a majority.
Supporters of organized labor in the gallery chanted "Shame!" as the legislation was passed on a 17-15 vote. One Republican senator, Jerry Petrowski, broke with his party and joined all 14 Democrats in the chamber in voting against the measure.
Supporters of the right-to-work measure contend it could attract more businesses to the Midwestern state.
TVNL Comment: Keep voting in these anti labor fascists, America. This is happening all over the country. It started with Reagan, and will finally end with killing off all major unions and what's left of a dying middle class.
