United Auto Workers Local 174 President John Zimmick works in his office in Romulus, Mich. on Friday March 22, 2013. A picture of Martin Luther King Jr. hangs on the wall. Unions still have influence in blue-state strongholds, but the days are long gone when labor leaders were household names and generous contracts were virtually assured. Even in friendly terrain, there are both die-hard supporters and workers who've abandoned the movement. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)

FILE – In this March 21, 2013 file photo Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper gives a thumbs up as he celebrates with members of the legislature after signing the Civil Unions Act into law at the Colorado History Museum in Denver. The Supreme Court can choose from a wide array of outcomes in ruling on California's Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage and the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman. The cases will be argued Tuesday, March 26, 2013, and Wednesday; rulings are not likely before late June. (AP Photo/Brennan Linsley, File)
