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 Labor 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.

 

Nelson Mandela, political activist, world leader, Nobel Peace Prize winner, here is Mandela at the U.S capital building in 1990 and this is where Mandela was yesterday.

Mandela had a abdominal surgery earlier this year and had a series respiratory infection last year. Nelson Mandela was once called the world's most famous political prisoner. He's been 27 years in jail fighting for equality for black South Africans. After he was released in 1990, he continued his effects to unite his country.
