Groups rally in St. Paul to support Wis. workers - chicagotribune.com: "Covered in layers of coats, scarves, hats and gloves amid frigid temperature and snow, rally goers in St. Paul chanted 'Workers' rights are human rights' and waved signs that read 'United we bargain, divided we beg' or 'Save the American dream.'

'The right to collectively bargain is an American right,' Eliot Seide, executive director of AFSCME Council 5, told the crowd as he introduced speakers. 'You can't have American democracy if you don't have a strong trade union movement.'"
