Pro-Worker Rallies Held in 6 States 
------------------------------------



The measure comes as protesters held rallies for workers' rights in six
other states. In Michigan, over 1,000 people rallied at the state
Capitol in Lansing to oppose a measure allowing the breaking of labor
contracts by placing schools and districts under emergency management.
In a scene reminiscent of Wisconsin, hundreds of demonstrators packed
the Capitol rotunda, chanting slogans. Protests were also held Tuesday
against anti-union measures in Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Florida, and
Tennessee.
