Would love to see that happen, but hard to believe...in Michigan of all places.....one of the bluest of blue states...and one of the most heavily unionized states in the nation....just about the the LAST place on earth I would have ever thought would embrace right to work legislation.
Not according to Justice Roberts and Co. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If that happens, union bosses will soon begin appearing on the endangered species list.
Down here in Missouri we can't even get RTW legislation up for a vote!
Unfortunately, the idiots in my district replaced a moderate like Ouimet for a far left dim like Driskell. !@%#!@#.
Ping.
This will happens when the moon turns blood red, the ground quakes, the mountains split open and the sky turns evening black at 12 noon.
Pretty hopeful sign!
We would welcome Michigan back to liberty and prosperity!
Seems like the height of stupidity to try and go from the current state of affairs to right to work in one step. In Indiana, they handled the public sector unions first, in 2005, before dealing with the private sector in 2012.
If Ohio had simply eliminated the “fair share fee” that public sector workers who are not members of unions are required to pay to the Unions in 2011, rather than passing an over-reaching comprehensive reform, the public sector Unions would have gone broke. Instead, Ohio voters repealed the entire reform law in November 2011 and Ohio’s public sector Unions became stronger.
Being conservative should not mean you are not allowed to work strategically or have some patience.
Having spent some formative years living in the Wolverine State, I must say, I am stunned. Never have I been around such a bunch of hard-headed, rock-ribbed, my-way-or-the-highway, heads planted firmly up their arses Union types as when I lived in the Greater Detroit area.
I guess desperation makes you get smart in a hurry.
What about unions formed by employers, such as staffing agencies and temporary labor? They’re no different in their ultimate function, just the direction of the benefits & protection.
If it is going to be about freedom, then it should cover all possible forms of labor unions whether organized by employers or by employees through some third party.
