VIDEO REPORT: Dems Take Jabs at Gov. Walker at Union Rally

UPDATED: Saturday, March 10, 2012 -- 6:00 p.m.

Capitol Police tell NBC 15 they estimate a crowd of at least 25,000 union supporters at the AFL-CIO rally Saturday afternoon.

Speakers acknowledged one year since the passage of Act 10, the collective bargaining bill, that was enacted on March 11, 2011, and continued to call for the recall of Governor Scott Walker and legislators.

Wisconsin could face a Democratic recall primary as soon as May.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin Democrats are taking jabs at Gov. Scott Walker hours before unions are planning to host a rally to mark the one-year anniversary of the state Legislature passing a bill to end collective bargaining rights for most public workers.

The Wisconsin State Building Trades group held a candidate forum Saturday at a hotel near the Capitol.

Speakers included Kathleen Falk and Kathleen Vinehout, who plan to run against Walker in a possible recall election. They spoke briefly about their platforms and criticized Walker's leadership.

Thousands are expected to converge outside the Capitol later Saturday for a rally hosted by Wisconsin State AFL-CIO.

Walker's collective bargaining law stripped most public workers of their union rights. Activists protested at the Capitol before and after it passed in the Republican-controlled Legislature.
