Wow, 1000 people. Would that be all of them, most of them or just some of them?

I think majority of Michigan has learned that we have to make cuts to balance a budget that has been terribly overdrawn. Jennifer Granholm was terrible and brought us to one of the worst economies in the USA, I'm sorry democrats.. but your time of pumping more money in to "fix" problems is over. Go Snyder!

A bit...late, don't you think?

The unions do not have the support of the people behind them, else you'd see many more protesters, not just a 1000 union members.

I agree though, let's hope the GOP controlled states break the monopoly of the union stranglehold, which is causing a sea of red ink in the states.

Change is GOOD.

stanglehold..thats good,like the stranglehold the repubs put on the working class,while getting on their knees and suckling their corporate pimps,understand this,it was unions that built the middle class in this country,not repubs or corporations,it is unions that push to keep the playing field even,not the repubs,and in a strange coincedence,as the unions shrink so does the middle class,mirror image.
