The unions are still pretty quiet after this.

They tried much worse in Wisconsin after passage, and it backfired on them. A number of folks who weren't all that keen on Walker were disgusted at the unions' behaviour.

This will play out in the courts and in the 2014 elections, the way it ought to.

Snyder also knew he'd get a serious primary challenger if he didn't play ball. He chose well.

Congrats, MI, on doing what had been thought unthinkable only a short while ago, and for getting the whole nine yards.

One thing no one is talking about is the surprising amount of support for RTW from rank and file members. I estimated 30 to 40 percent and this poll seems to back it up.

That's what happens when you have a conscripted workforce, they begin to work against you from within.

Mitchell poll: Michigan voters favor right-to-work, 51-41

- By union household: A strong majority (56 percent) of non-union households support right-to-work. Support among union households is only at 40 percent.
