Last week marked the one-year anniversary of the 2011 Wisconsin protests, which made national news when as many as 100,000 protestors (many of whom were public servants) rallied to oppose the Wisconsin Budget Repair Bill. These protests are being hailed a year later as a predecessor to the Occupy movement, as well as being considered the future of the labor movement.
The Winter 2012 issue of SAQ’s “Against the Day” section reflects on these protests and asks questions about their implications for the future. Read Stanley Aronowitz’s “Reflections on the Madison Uprising,” for free here.
