LANSING, MI - About a half dozen people who were protesting against right-to-work legislation were arrested outside the Senate chamber shortly after 12 p.m. today.
The protesters, who are among an estimated 3,000 union members and others demonstrating against right-to-work bills at the Capitol, were arrested for impeding the flow of pedestrian traffic, said Michigan State Police Inspector Gene Adamczyk.
He said the protesters were trying to push their way into the Senate chamber and laid down in a common walk way. They were asked to move and did not, he said.

Union members and others in the Senate gallery applauded and cheered for those who were arrested as they were brought through the Senate floor.
