Washington Post columnist Harold Meyerson wrote Wednesday that riots may eventually "prove to be the common form of protest after unions," in a piece for the American Prospect on the failed recall of Gov. Scott Walker:
Of course, as historian Fred Siegel, a leading opponent of public-sector unions, remarked to me many years ago (when he was still on the left), before unions, the common form of protest for workers seeking a better life was rioting. That may eventually prove to be the common form of protest after unions, too.
