Scott Kevin Walker the 43 year old Republican Governor of Wisconsin in the USA The Tunisia of collective bargaining rights (March 1 2011)

Scott Kevin Walker the 43 year old Republican Governor of Wisconsin in the USA has become a focus for protests against his ideological plan to curb union bargaining rights of public workers as the state’s biggest school district closed due to teachers leaving workplaces to demonstrate. Thousands of demonstrators, many wearing cheese wedge-shaped hats peacefully crowded the streets around the State Capitol, receiving support from President Barack Obama who called the proposal an “assault on unions.” Walker has threatened to layoff more than 10,000 employees unless his plan is implemented. In order to implement the plan Walker requires ratification from the state senate, however 14 Democrat senators left the state denying Republicans the needed quorum of 20 necessary to hold the vote.
