Detroit, Michigan - 16 December 2013 - Hundreds of state of Michigan employees 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%. United Auto Workers Vice President Cindy Estrada speaks to the crowd as Santa watches.
