2011 Wisconsin protests

In 2011, many people in the state of Wisconsin were very angry with the government. The government had passed a law that made it harder for workers to negotiate with their employers and get bigger paychecks or better benefits. So, a lot of people in Wisconsin started protesting and marching in the streets. They were hoping that they could pressure the government to change the law and give workers more rights.
