MADISON, WI – MARCH 12: Wisconsin State Sen. Dave Hansen (D) is greeted by supporters after returning to Madison to attend a rally March 12, 2011 in Madison, Wisconsin.

Scott Walker’s budget repair bill which essentially eliminated collective bargaining rights for state workers. (Image credit: Getty Images via @daylife)
