Detroit, Michigan - 16 December 2013 - Former Congressman Mark Schauer joins hundreds of state of Michigan employees who picketed the state office building to protest the state's demand for cuts in their health insurance during bargaining over new union contracts. They note that the state has a budget surplus and has given its top investment officials raises of up to 90%. Schauer is expected to oppose incumbent Rick Snyder in the 2014 Michigan gubernatorial election. Credit: Jim West/Alamy Live News
