Thousands of union members and supporters have amassed in Wisconsin for a fourth day to keep up the pressure on a Republican-backed bill that would curb union rights.
Quote:
Democrats in the state Senate have fled the city of Madison to deny the body a quorum for a vote on the bill.
Quote:
The Republican senate leadership despatched state troopers to the home of Democratic senate minority leader Mark Miller in an effort to bring him to the capitol for a vote.
But in a series of interviews from the neighbouring state of Illinois and on the telephone, the Democratic senators threatened to remain in hiding for weeks, a move that would paralyse the state government.
Wow! Sometime politics is exciting.

A US judge in Wisconsin has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the state's new collective bargaining law from taking effect.
Public-sector unions' bargaining rights would be affected by the law, if it is published later this month.
Judge Maryann Sumi issued the order, which is being seen as a setback to Republican Governor Scott Walker.
