INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Protesters who oppose the Republican-backed right-to-work bill took their concerns to Super Bowl Village on Friday.

Union-backed demonstrators have been a big presence at the Indiana Statehouse while Democrats and Republicans debated the labor bill.

The bill passed out of the House on Wednesday and is expected to get a vote on the Senate floor as early as Wednesday of next week, ahead of the Super Bowl.

On Friday, the protesters changed their location and their message in conjunction with the Super Bowl.

“(Right to work) – the corporate zipline to more profit,” one of the protester’s signs said.

Another sign called right to work a “Super Bowl of crack to Republicans.”

Their arrival coincides with the first day the Super Bowl Village is set to open. The village opens at 3 p.m. Friday.
