ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Unionized workers in Minnesota are opposing a measure that would strip most Wisconsin public employees of their collective bargaining rights.

The mention of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's proposal drew boos at a union rally attended by about 300 people at the Minnesota Capitol on Wednesday.

Minnesota AFL-CIO President Shar Knutson says the legislation is an attack on working people. She is asking the Minnesota workers to show solidarity with those in Wisconsin.

Snowplow drivers, teachers and other union workers were rallying to support Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton's budget plan to raise high-end income taxes, carrying signs saying, "Tax the rich" and "Create jobs now."

So when is big mouth, pathological liar, American Taliban Teahadist Michele Bachmann going to say something nasty about collective bargaining?

She must be a CHICKEN!

"...and unlike collecting great greazy gobs of solialized welfare moenybucks for your 'farm' (smirk), it is, um, not a RepubliCorp Family Values. Sneer."

of how powerful Unions really are. Here in Illinois, Quinn basically won the election because of the teachers union endorsement and I thank god every day for that.
