For anyone looking into the claim "When Latinos went on strike (illegal and legal) in Wisconsin to send a message to Walker every restaurant in Madison was shutdown", it appears to be a reference to "Day Without Latinos" last year in Madison on Thursday, February 18 (not to be confused with similar events this year).
I could find articles that indicated that some restaurants planned to close, eg http://www.wpr.org/madison-restaurants-are-closing-day-without-latinos http://www.wpr.org/madison-restaurants-are-closing-day-witho... , but nothing to suggest that even a substantial fraction of restaurants closed.
This article http://www.nbc15.com/home/headlines/Day-Without-Latinos-protest-planned-369156771.html http://www.nbc15.com/home/headlines/Day-Without-Latinos-prot... lists nine restaurants (with multiple locations) that were closed, with no indication that were more.
