Teamsters cheer on POWER walkers in WI

Teachers and students are marching 100 miles over three days from Milwaukee to  Madison. They'll arrive Saturday for the rally at the Statehouse. Here they're greeted in front of Teamsters' Local 200 by Secretary-Treasurer Tom Millonzi, President Tom Bennett, business agents Tom Benvenuto, Mike Gurich, Jim Seelow and Jeff Bandur.

Chris Fons, a Milwaukee Social Studies teacher, told the change.org blog,
We are marching to Madison to defend the rights of all workers to collectively bargain and to make sure that all students are guaranteed a free public education.
