Protestors inside the Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin, USA 10 March 2011. According to media reports, the Wisconsin Senate has passed legislation to eliminate nearly all collective bargaining rights of public workers after amending a revenue bill to eliminate the need for a quorum. Senate Democrats fled the state three weeks ago to prevent voting on the bill. The collective bargaining aspect of the bill was removed from the revenue bill. (KEYSTONE/EPA/CARLOS JAVIER ORTIZ)
