SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA - February 27, 2011 - Thousands of people rallied in Los Angeles and San Diego this past weekend in solidarity with Wisconsin's unionized public workers. Wisconsin State employees are fighting against Governor Scott Walker and the Republican majority in the Wisconsin state legislature who are attempting to pass a bill that would essentially eliminate the right of the state's public employees to unionize and bargain collectively.
Support rallies were held throughout the country, when a nationwide call went out for people to meet in their own state’s capitals for demonstrations backing Wisconsin’s workers
