If unions are so great, why do you have to be forced against your will to belong? Why are unions so afraid of workers being given the freedom to choose?
The news shows videos of agitators and thugs chanting "right to work has got to go" so I guess they are against people having the right to work--putting the unions in the position of opposing individual liberties and favoring oppression.
That is why I only do business with non-union companies. We all have a choice where to spend our money and I don't want my money supporting unions. I would be willing to pay more for my products just to know that not one dime is ever going to a union, but guess what? The non-union businesses are always able to offer me much better prices!
"This Legislature has made a number of strong economic reforms to get people back to work, and pro-worker reforms were the next obvious step to get us where we need to be. It is imperative that we give each and every Michigan worker the choice to decide their own path to success -- whether or not that involves union membership can now be up to them."
Thugs is what they are, Unions need to go. All they want is the most pay and benefits for the least amount of work. And the union bosses make millions from the dues their members are forced to pay. They give millions to the dems and the dems give them what they want. Its called buying votes,
I bet whatever bridge abutment or building foundation Jimmy Hoffa is buried in is vibrating uncontrollably at the news that his home state of Michigan is now going to be a right to work state!
Worker Liberation in Michigan: Another state gives individuals the right not to join a union.
The best news of late is in Michigan, which is poised this week to pass a landmark right-to-work law.
You can tell this is a big deal based on the fury of Big Labor's reaction. Union activists plan to descend on Lansing Tuesday to protest, including many from out of state. State police will have to be on duty to ensure that legislators can get through what is likely to be a loud and abusive cordon of activists who want to block the vote.
This thuggishness is a deliberate and familiar union political strategy: Cause as big a ruckus as possible in hopes of making right to work seem radical when it's already the law in nearly half the country.
We hope Republicans and Governor Rick Snyder aren't intimidated, because they have the moral and policy high ground. Union activists want voters to believe that right-to-work laws deny union organizing rights, or ban collective bargaining. President Obama peddled this distortion on Monday in Redford, Michigan, claiming that "what we shouldn't be doing is trying to take away your rights to bargain for better wages and working conditions."
Right to work does no such thing. It empowers individual workers. As allowed under the 1947 Taft-Hartley Act, right to work merely lets individual workers choose for themselves if they want to join a union. The laws prevent closed union shops, which coerce individual workers to join unions and to pay union dues. A teacher who opts out under right to work, for example, could save several hundred dollars in annual union dues that go to political causes he may not even believe in.
