LANSING, MI — Union members say their fight isn’t over after the House and Senate passed bills to make Michigan a right-to-work state.
After a long day of protesting inside and outside the state Capitol, union leaders called on members to attend civil disobedience training on Saturday, and return to Lansing for more protests on Tuesday.
“We’ve got to rebuild the broad social justice movement; I think this is going to energize people,” said United Auto Workers President Bob King. “All this administration has done is attack working people, so it’s our job to go out and talk in our communities…”
Union members will learn how to protest, get noticed, stay safe and conduct themselves in a peaceful way, said SEIU Michigan State Council President Marge Robinson-Faville.
The training will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at UAW Local 600 in Dearborn.
Members will meet at the Lansing Center to protest the right-to-work bills on Tuesday, which is the next scheduled session day for the legislature.
“Never have all the unions come together as strong as they have now,” King said. “In every crisis there’s opportunity; we've got to make this the opportunity that changes Michigan, as we’re trying to change this country to be about working families again.”
Hundreds -- if not a few thousand -- union members and others gathered at the Capitol for hours on Thursday, chanting against the right-to-work bills.

Conyer’s wife gets out of prison into half-way house soon.
For taking bribes while on Detroit city council. They fact that Conyers has been in congress for decades and always re-elected says pretty much all one needs to know about Detroit being bankrupt.
If you have any union friends in Ohio, you might point them to the union conservatives. These guys have been a driving force in bringing RTW to Michigan.

A replay of the 1930’s-40’s Commie strikes, demonstrations and other disruptions to the companies. That’s what America gets when it elects leftist/progressive/commie politicians
Another book, with an in depth look at Communism in America is “The Red Decade”, Eugene Lyons. copyright 1941. His book is about the 1930’s, names 100’s of names. For instance,Mike Quill, Transport Workers Union communist, from the early 30’s led a strike in NYC, in 1966, when John Lindsey was Mayor. That’s how long these people have been infiltrating American business and gov’t unions.
I see my fully indoctrinated union organizing cousin is pushing the “GOP is the klan” meme this morning.
I’m enjoying the humiliation Moleface must be enduring - her socialist mantra being peeled back one layer after another!
Sorry about your cousin...
And am wondering how many out-state teachers are going to bail, that’s gonna hit pocketbooks of union activism more than anything.
Isn’t this union openly skirting within the limits of RICO laws?
This sounds like a deliberate conspiracy to me.
