MI Moving to a Right to Work State!!! Congrats!!!

[GHook93]

Way to go! Step in the right direction to save another state from Union Thuggery that destroys industries and decimates our manufacturing sector!!!

Politics: Michigan's Governor, Rick Snyder, announces right-to-work fight | CainTV
After living under the tax-and-spend yoke of Jennifer Granholm for eight years, Michigan was in complete financial disarray. The state changed course in 2011, after placing Republican Rick Snyder in the Governor's mansion. In just one year, he managed to begin the turnaround, posting a $457 million surplus. Since then, most believe he's done a solid job of steering Michigan toward a better future.

Snyder has announced that he wants to see Michigan's legislature pass right a right-to-work bill, and that he'll definitely sign it when it makes it to his office.

According to State House Speaker Jase Bolger, the move is a no-brainer. "Workers," he said, "deserve the freedom to decide which organizations they want to join and which organizations they do not want to join. These are values that should unite us, they should not divide us."

The new law would affect almost 20% of Michigan's workforce, though it would include exemptions for police and firefighter unions. These organizations are protected by existing law and the state constitution.

Given that GM, Ford, and Chrysler are all headquartered in the Detroit area, the repercussions are as much national as they are local. While spoiled, union-controlled, Detroit leadership demands a federal bailout, the rest of us have been fighting to free the area from their influence. In a state where the unions have spent eighty years cementing their power and buying their influence, you can rest assured that the battle is about to get very, very, nasty.

Just imagine a Michigan, and a big three, that had finally been relieved of an unalterable adherence to oppressive, lopsided, union contracts.

Anything in politics that is given a nice sounding name has vast potential to eat your lunch.

Like CAIR or the Affordable Healthcare Act or the Wall Street Reform Act? You do have a point, but in this case the product lives up to the name!

Its a done deal. Can't be challenged either. An amendment was added for spending on purpose to prevent them.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Great news!! Half the states in the US are now "right to work"...One more down....25 to go.

 

[Claudette]

Good for Michigan.

Took a Rep Gov to straighten out the 8yr mess left by Granholm a Dem.

Last night, Snyder was being interviewed and said it had to be done because Indiana had become a right to work state and 90 companies moved there.

I am sorry but Obama told me there were 32 left.

 

[Freewill]

The problem with unions is that they made themselves irrelevant. They pushed government to do their job and now that they do and now they complain that fewer and fewer pay attention to them. The 8 hour day was great but it is legislated now we don't need the Union to do that for us. Benefits are nice but now the government is going to supply them too. Unions have become nothing but Democrat supporters who are little more then the corporations they say they hate.

Cool. This lets our individual workers compete with Malaysa better for low wages.

Great.

But oh well. Part of the trend and part of Unions not adjusting fast enough.

Are we happy at least big brother has created OSHA and some hours of work regulations instead of counting on union contracts to have them? Yay, great. Lets count on the government instead of private contracts. At least the government is there to protect us from eachother.

Note my sarcasm about the whole event.

I saw the union goons yelling and screaming on TV.

The police should crack their fucking skulls in.

Before Granholm (a Canuck, btw), Engler, a Republican, also sucked as governor.

Just sayin'.

Anyway, this is amazing...MI a right-to-work state? Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Eight were arrested and several pepper sprayed.

It just sucks all the way around. I understand their anger and unions did great things a while back. Lets hope we don't swing too far the other way and have to fight them.industrial revolution battles again.

You're a fucking retard.

There currently are 22 right-to-work states and no one in those states is getting hosed on wages any more than the other states.

Well if wages are lower in union shops I guess the companies want to keep the unions around.

Unions are democrat money collectors. They have the ability to take money from one person and donate it to the politicans who help the union collect the money. And they can do that regardless of how the individual having his money taken feels about it.

Crisis has put scrutiny on unholy alliance of politicians, unions - Sun Sentinel

The racket is a simple one: The unions provide campaign contributions from members' dues, and in exchange elected officials approve pay and benefit packages far out of proportion to those available in the private sector.

They can do that, until those paying the salaries and providing the benefits can't do it anymore.

That's why San Bernardino is bankrupt.

San Bernardino attempted to rein in the public largess which is a result of bribing Democrat politicians for ever increasing wage and benefit packages for public employee unions but it was too little too late.''

Now, don't you have some heads to knock in and kneecaps to break somewhere?

The mess began long before Granholm.

 

[GoneBezerk]

The majority of voters in these states support these changes, but it's always the ORGANIZED union GOONS that show up to cause trouble in the state legislature houses like in Wisconsin for months and now Michigan.

Unions are out-dated, criminal organizations pulling out every stunt they can to maintain their gravy train and power. People making $30/hour to build a car is over, they can work for less with their GED.

I saw the union goons yelling and screaming on TV.

The police should crack their fucking skulls in.

It just sucks all the way around. I understand their anger and unions did great things a while back. Lets hope we don't swing too far the other way and have to fight them.industrial revolution battles again.
