DECATUR -- Governor Quinn had some extra visitors during his stop today. A group of about 100 union workers showed up for a silent protest. But, they still got their message across.

They're upset over canceled raises and failed contract talks. Workers say they feel like they're being targeted unfairly. They didn't say when a strike could happen. AFSCME has been fighting Quinn for more than a year.
