Labor Unions

This week we spoke about labor movements and the music that often accompanies it. I talked Tuesday about the current labor issue going on in Wisconsin. A lot of analogies have been associated with this protest; most notably references to 9/11 and the protest movement in Egypt. The Daily Show with Jon Steward gave a rather interesting commentary on the current event. We didn't have time to watch it in class so I am posting the link here. I hope you enjoy it.
