Large crowds expected in Lansing to protest right-to-work bill
The predicted crowd of up to 10,000 people from inside and outside Michigan will be just about the biggest crowd the state Capitol has seen as conservatives, union members and the media flood the streets of Lansing to protest, applaud and record the actions expected to be taken today on controversial right-to-work legislation.
Cars with license plates from Florida, Georgia, Virginia, Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois sat alongside the rest in the Michigan AFL-CIO parking lot Monday, just a few blocks from the Capitol building.
"Since the restoration of the Capitol, this one is definitely going to be the biggest," said Steve Benkovsky, director of the Legislative Council Facilities Agency, which manages the Capitol. "We had about 2,000 here on Thursday, so I would say that between 7,000 and 10,000 is probably a good figure for Tuesday."
The state House of Representatives is expected to take up two bills today that would make it illegal to require financial contributions to unions as a condition of employment. One of the bills covers public sector employees, and the other covers the private sector.
