Wisconsin's workers haven't only fought back with protests and recall efforts. Since Scott Walker began his attack on Wisconsin's public employees, faculty at three University of Wisconsin campuses have voted to join the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).
In February, faculty at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse voted in favor of the union by a 249-37 margin. March 9, University of Wisconsin-Stout joined the union 196-31. March 24, University of Wisconsin-River Falls, 148-16.
