Hundreds of people in central Illinois have protested outside a closed-door fundraiser that featured Republican strategist Karl Rove.
Rove spoke for about an hour Monday at a gathering sponsored by the Economic Freedom Alliance, a group that opposes the proposed Employee Free Choice Act. The people rallying outside represented unions that support the legislation.
The law would eliminate employers’ rights to demand secret-ballot elections for workers voting to form unions.
The fundraiser’s estimated 40 attendees included members of the business community.
Democratic Peoria County board member Mike Phelan called the Fox News commentator’s appearance "a big step backwards."
