Better that they go back to their jobs and let people know that they are at work because they know how much they are needed by the people of WI.

From some of last night's coverage, it looked like the WI Dems were pursuing legal action via the Atty General- my hpe is that this does go to the courts there- appears to be a WI constitutional issue to the max.
Striking might well turn public opinion against the public employees in the end. The union folks have a very strong statement in their prior agreement on monetary concessions.
I was a bit confused - is the sitting WI and Dem or GOP? Although, constutional law is the bottom line about the procedures in the state legislative bodies.
