This is the state capital building in Langsing, Michigan, there is a crowd gathered in front, and this is what that crowd looked like a close. Protesters, thousands of them, holding up signs and chanting, at least 3 schools around the state were closed because teachers went to Langsing to be part of this. The chants were going on inside the capital too.
They are saying veto because they are protesting against legislation that was up for a vote yesterday. That legislation passed, and it was headed to the governor's desk next. He said he'll sign it and when he does, Michigan will become the 24th U.S state with right to work laws. Now what that means is that workers in Michigan won't have to join a
Labor1 Union or to pay union dues in order to get or keep a job. People who support these laws say they give workers more choice and can attract more business. Critics say that right to work laws make unions weaker and keep wages lower.
