“We better get out here. Every retiree better get out here on these protests because don’t count on the (bankruptcy) judge to defend us,” said David Sole, 65, whose wife, Joyce, is a retired Detroit Department of Transportation worker drawing a pension.

“We don’t trust the judges. They are often creatures of Wall Street and the banks. A lot of us were involved in the Civil Rights Movement and unions. Nothing was ever handed to us. We have to fight for us. It’s going to be a mass movement that protects our pensions.”
