Around 2,000 New York State workers protested against pension changes in Albany on Tuesday. The changes would switch some workers to a 401(k)-like plan and cut some benefits. The Governor says that the changes are necessary for the State's financial health. Workers say that they are being punished for problems they did not create. The changes, part of the budget, still have to get through the Legislature.
