CKNW,
Unionized workers from British Columbia, Oregon and Washington State are set to rally today in support of Wisconsin workers who've just lost their right to strike.
BC Federation of Labour President Jim Sinclair says the rally at the Peace Arch border crossing is also in response to the erosion of union rights on this side of the border,"I look at Stephen Harper and I think there's our Wisconsin. He hates unions. He always has."
