By Donna Jablonski

ADVERTISEMENTS

Wisconsin’s Republican legislators have put off a vote on a bill that would undermine good, middle-class jobs and take collective bargaining rights away from some 200,000 public employees, according to JSOnline and other news reports.

Democrats in the state Senate left the capitol yesterday, stalling a vote on the measure. Today, JSOnline reports, Republicans tried to push through a vote with no one on the other side of the aisle.
