If the unions hadn't tried to stuff collective bargaining in our state constitution this wouldn't be up for a vote.

I rejoice that union thuggery will have their money spigot seriously cut off.

It has sparked large protests at the Capitol by union members and anger from Democrats upset the right to work issue never even got a committee hearing.

What are they worried about? If unions are such great things then everyone should be clamoring to join. They shouldn't need to force people to join...

The unions earned this beating fair and square. Still, make sure to call your senator and offer encouragement.

Hot Damn I love it.

Finally, some Republicans with balls.

I wish we had some in the United State Congress.

Make the Dems walk out every day.

Michigan Repubs control the Senate 26-12 (which means the bill WILL be passed real soon there) and control the House 64-46. And there was no quorum rule holding things up while the union side rampaged.

I'm hoping this will be on the gov's desk by the end of the week.

Hopefully it will be on Gov. Snyder’s desk to sign on Monday when King Kenyan comes here to Detroit to talk about taxing the rich and continuing his class warfare rhetoric - now that would be perfect timing.

Obama opposes Michigan's right-to-work legislation look for some heavy federal arm twisting to occur.

I’m hoping it’s on his desk by end-of-day Friday, to short-circuit any pressure from the feds.

“WoW.. thats really something in Michigan..”

For sure! Now Michigan needs to do a border realignment with Indiana and give them that Big Black Chancre called Detroit!

Being on our own behind enemy lines has made Michigan conservatives like the French Resistance. It looks like nothing is going on and an ammo dump blows up.

Yes: He might even start sending guns to the Unions.

Why Not, he sends them to anyone else he likes.

I’m trying to restart the Toledo strip war so we can trick Ohio into winning Detroit.
