HTML: On February 11, 2011, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker announced he would strip collective bargaining rights from public employees and teachers. In response, people rose up in mass protest, and Wisconsin became a reference point for a renewal of labor militancy and radical politics. These protests elicited extensive national media coverage, and drew more attention from the general public than any American labor struggle in decades. No library descriptions found. |

I picked it up to read prior to the Wisconsin recall elections (which failed) and I could barely get through it. 2 months to read 160 pages. Clearly it did not engage me.
