LANSING — Union members plan to take part in civil disobedience training Saturday as they prepare for what’s expected to be a massive Capitol protest against right-to-work legislation on Tuesday, a spokesman for a workers’ coalition said today.

“Over the weekend, thousands of Michiganders are expected to take part in an unprecedented number of actions in key legislative districts,” Jon Hoadley, a spokesman for We are Michigan, said in a news release. “On Saturday, workers will participate in a training to understand their rights should they choose to participate in civil disobedience.”

The civil disobedience training is planned at UAW Local 600 in Dearborn on Saturday morning.

We are Michigan describes itself as a coalition of union and nonunion workers, faith-based groups and other progressive groups.
