More than 1000 unionists from around Arizona rallied on the grounds of the State Capitol in Phoenix to protest anti-worker legislation proposed by the Republican-controlled Arizona Legislature. Many speakers blamed big corporations, big banks, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), the Goldwater Institute and the Legislature itself for Arizona's poor economy, answering  Republican claims that public employee unions are costing taxpayers money.
