Protests to Support Public Employees

IATSE Local 251 is supporting the hard working public employees of the State of Wisconsin. Our membership has been at the Capitol every day. Our members have slept in the Capitol, carried signs, beat drums, set up stages and handed out donuts. We are proud of our Union brethren for the continued peaceful pressure they are applying to our state government.
