"LANSING -- In their biggest show of force yet this year, about 3,000 union members and supporters are gathered at the Capitol today to protest anti-labor bills in the Legislature."It's beautiful," said Joe Bowen, a retired automotive worker who traveled to the rally from Saginaw. "It sends a message that it's not fair. They are trying to pinch unions."
-- Thanks for posting. We must stand up for democracy over plutocracy. Privatization would raise prices and reduce services. We must defeat the chest-beating oligarchs. They are LOUD but fewer in number - we outnumber them!

More along the lines of they are scared they'll have to pay their fair share of benefits like all non-union Americans and are only obeying the orders they received from their union bosses (demonstrating)
Just put yourself in a union persons shoes, now not only would they have to pay their fair share but also put up with the same non-existent pay raises non-union people get....
And have to actually work for a living and if they don't do a good job they'll get fired.....
~sniffle~ I feel sooooo sorry for these union people..... /not
