Thousands of people rallied at the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing Wednesday as Republican Gov. Rick Snyder signed a package of anti-worker bills into law. The measures grant appointed emergency financial managers sweeping new powers to break union contracts, dismiss elected officials, and even disincorporate entire municipalities. At least 14 people were arrested after staging a sit-in inside the Capitol. Police used pepper spray to prevent a group of protesters entering the building.
