Thousands gather to rally against Gov. Rick Snyder's budget

rock on! wish i could be there!

You know they have this quote right near the beginning of the article:

“This is not about unions. It’s about working people,” he said.

Yet farther down the page you find this little tidbit:

Carey was joined by thousands at the Capitol for the first of three union-sponsored rallies today.

So it isn't about unions, but the unions are sponsoring the rallies?

Sorry, I may look like it, but I'm not that stupid to believe it isn't about the unions.

Then on page 2 you have this:

Mary Barker, an unemployed teacher from Mt. Pleasant, came to show her support for unions.

And then you have the utter gall of this guy:

“This governor and this Republican Party wants to take almost $2 billion more away from working people and give it to the wealthy and corporations,” said UAW President Bob King. “It’s a reverse Robin Hood and that’s absolutely wrong.”

Now can someone remind me just how much of GM does the UAW now OWN, after the Democrats and the federal government did the "special deal" for them?

first i don't see how republicans putting a new tax of 2 billion on us, has anything to do with the union. the NPR article what, they all did that to get rid of the old workers. i left to soon to get any, i m pissed i sure could use 40k right about now. you really don't think the union is that dumb do ya, because if ya do i have some land for ya. so now tell just what a union member has done to ya to get ya so hateful of them.

Govonor Rick, along with the Republicans want to break the Unions, then the corporations that helped them get into office, can start lowering the wages and benefits to average Americans.

Excellent reporting!
