RI unions and others rally in solidarity with Wisconsin public workers at the RI State House Tuesday, February 22.
About 500 people gathered to show support for public employees in Wisconsin, Ohio, and Indiana who are protesting moves in their states to strip collective bargaining rights from union workers.
The main message was one of solidarity with workers in Wisconsin. Union leaders emphasized that the rally was not a protest against Rhode Island politicians, who are largely friendly toward organized labor.
The speeches were greeted with shouts and chants of “hey, hey, ho, ho – union busting got to go.”
