MUSKEGON, MI -- Republican Gov. Rick Snyder signed historic right to work legislation Tuesday with thousands of protesters in the Capitol.

Among them were at least five busloads of union members and supporters from the Muskegon area. All five buses left Tuesday morning and joined 10,000 other protesters in Lansing.

Around 5:20 p.m., a bus full of disappointed protesters returned to the CIO hall on Western Avenue in downtown Muskegon.

“It wasn’t fair at all. It was partisan politics to its finest,” Don Kosheba of Ravenna said of the day's activities in the state House and Senate. “It’s bad for Michigan, it’s bad for working families. It’s going to push the amount of money that people make down. The wages and benefits are going to be lower.”

Michigan did the nation proud today.

No real violence.

Hopefully this is the snowflake that starts the avalanche.

Yup, from Economics 101: supply and demand. Deal with it.

Hey, those not wanting to join a union should have more money because they won’t automatically have the union siphoning off part of their paycheck in dues.

They make a little less and thousands of jobs stay in the United States rather than going to China... sounds good to me.

Except that Fox contributer that got punched. And the tents that were torn down. If that was the TEA party we’d never hear the end of it.

Been saying for years to keep your eye on Right To Work law expansion.

MItch Daniels broke the dam; now MIchigan acts.

The crowd in Wisconsin need to get busy ~

So, folks, Mitch wasn't Conservative enough so the Republicans ended up running Romney. What'd he ever do about Right to Work?

I find it amusing that all these rat voters bitch about free-riding on their ‘benefits.’ The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

It seems to be OK for 47 percent of the population to be freeloading on the other 53 percent enjoying the benefits we all worked for and some died for. However its not OK for “Non-Union” workers to enjoy similar rights in the factory. That was the argument I heard all day today from union thugs and slugs.Useful IDIOTS with an emphasis on the IDIOTS.

Point made, it seems the Union Stupids should take up that freeloading with their Rat masters first as they already are fleeced for it. Non union workers part would be like spitting in the ocean to make it rise.
