Detroit bankruptcy another setback for unions 
Saturday, Jul 27, 2013 09:29 AM PDT
 FILE - In this July 24, 2013 file photo protesters carry a sign outside the Levin Federal Courthouse in Detroit.

(AP Photo/Paul Sancya)WASHINGTON (AP) — Detroit's historic bankruptcy filing is a major setback for public employee unions that have spent years trying to ward off cuts to the pensions of millions of government workers around the country.
