Always interesting to me that the people the unions are stealing the money from, that are also the people who will drop out of the union as soon as the law passes, are the people who protest the RTW laws before they pass.

To protest right-to-work bill, teachers call in sick...

Bank on it. Watch the corrupt partisan judges insert themselves into this and rule against it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Holder’s crew got involved too.

“No Peace” if Right-To-Work Law Passed; “Demonstrators” Occupy Government Building

http://minx.cc/?post=335591

And here we go.

On Twitter, @stranahan is reporting some harrowing things. Americans For Prosperity had a tent up, which was torn down by union protestors; worse yet, he said there were people inside the tent when they took it down, and the “protesters” were armed with knives.

He says the “protesters” have also occupied the George Romney building, which is the Governor’s main office.

Update: @scrowder (comedian Steve Crowder, who did the Bowie parody, and the “redistribution of Halloween candy” clip) was punched four times in the face during the fracas. See end of update.

Update: They broke his tooth in the beating.

Georgia is a right-to-work state, and we have Unions. The only thing Michigan’s unions are upset about is losing money from non-members.

I guess the only thing left to do is for the Democrats in the legislature to flee the state to prevent a quorum for voting?

I don't think there are enough of them to pull that off. I know there aren't in the Senate where the Rs outnumber the Ds by 26-12. I'm quite sure they would have if they could have.

I wondered about that too, as we saw that happen in both Wisconsin and Indiana. It sounds like the legislation's already been passed, and all that's required is the governor's signature. Are there different laws in Michigan for legislative quorums?

I suppose next will be efforts to recall the governor and key legislators.

Not surprising I suppose.

And these union thugs wonder why they're referred to as thugs, especially the thug leaders like Trumka.

They try that here, (NV) too, but they can’t break the RtW bunch.

We don’t need unions any more. They have become obsolete, and only the bullies want to keep them going. They want the money.

The whole country will eventually get wise. Hopefully, it will be in time.

>the Wolverine State will become the 24th in the country to have a right-to-work law on the books.

the Wolverine State will become the 24th in the country to enforce the law against union extortion of money from employees.

Oh, well Taylor isn’t accredited anyway. At least they weren’t. Those areas are huge UAW strongholds.
