Pro-labor protesters in Wis. aim to keep the peace


The Associated Press

MADISON, Wis. — Protesters at the Wisconsin Capitol are walking around wearing signs taped to their backs that proclaim they're peaceful.


The pro-labor protesters say they're concerned that the arrival of tea party activists on Saturday will disrupt what have been four days of peaceful protests.

Forty-four-year-old Sue Anderson of Prairie Du Sac says she'll get between anyone who tries to start a fight, but she says union protesters won't start one because they're mellow.

Outside the building, labor organizers have designated people to look for trouble and prevent members of their group from being drawn into fights. They're also looking out for signs that might incite tea party activists.
