Officials at the nation's largest labor federation said Monday they are looking for a more strategic approach to keep the protests going strong.
"This thing rose from the streets of Wisconsin, and if you've got any brains as a leader, you see a parade, you get out in front of it," said Greg Junemann, president of the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers and a member of the AFL-CIO's executive council.
"Before this thing starts to diminish, we need to make sure it gets a shot of vitamins at all appropriate times," he said.
