My mom and dad were both public employee union teachers.  They worked hard all their lives teaching kids and young adults.  My brother is a union plumber.  In honor of my parents, my brother and Wisconsin and other state union workers who are fighting for their rights, I am closing my law firm early on Friday and I urge law firms all across the country to do the same.  It is a small gesture, but we all owe a debt to people like my parents, my brother and all union workers.

Get off the sidelines – even in this very small way.
