By Mike Hall

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka is addressing the more than 20,000 people rocking the state Capitol in Madison, Wis., protesting Gov. Scott Walker?s (R) attack on workers? rights. Our own Eddie Vale is there and sends us these tweets from the speech:

?Brothers and sisters, there’s no place I’d rather be than right here!? – Trumka #WIunion #notmyWI #StateSOS
