FEATURE: Take Em Down: Dropkick Murphys rally against controversial union bill
Alternative Music

Despite a huge groundswell of opposition, including tens of thousands of protestors marching on and occupying the Wisconsin state capitol of Madison last month, governor Scott Walker signed a controversial anti-union bill into law on Friday. The bill, supposedly an effort to balance the state's budget, sparked outrage amongst unions and their supporters as it stripped public employees-most notably teachers-of their right to bargain collectively. Faced with a number of Democratic lawmakers who had fled the state in order to avoid the quorum necessary to vote on the bill, Walker and his Republican cohorts pulled a last minute legislative rules sleight of hand, which enabled them to push the bill through.
