Wisconsin Protests in Wikipedia

The protests began on February 14 in opposition to the Wisconsin Budget Repair Bill proposed by Republican Governor Scott Walker^[14] to address a projected $3.6 billion budget deficit.^[15] The legislation would require state employees to contribute 5.8% of their salaries to cover pension costs, contribute 12.6% towards their health care premiums and would weaken and possibly abolish collective bargaining rights for most public employee union members.
