MADISON - Senate Republicans have cut a public hearing on right-to-work legislation short, sending dozens of people who had been waiting hours to speak into a rage.
The Senate labor committee began the hearing at 10 a.m. The committee's chairman, Sen. Stephen Nass, had planned to end testimony at 7 p.m. Nass ended the hearing around 6:20 p.m., saying union members had threatened to disrupt the proceeding at 7 p.m. Union leaders later said they planned only to complain about ending the hearing at 7 p.m.
