We do not care about that. Whats important is good paying, living wage jobs for the masses. Job security is the most important thing listed by most regional polls.

One of the touted benefits of RTW is MORE jobs. This should attract employers to the state. More jobs means less unemployment and more employment choice. Pay will be determined by the free market but with the minimum being the minimum mandated wage. I don't think you're going to see any dramatic wage differences after RTW. You just may see fewer people paying union dues.

I don't see job security being affected one way or the other.

Does being "blown away" by the Jennifer Granholm economic plan equate to good paying jobs?

Please explain what you are talking about. Once again we have politics trumping what's really best for our people.......... So many thought Synder would be all good things to all people, a needed change by electing a " non Political " person. Boy was that wrong!Snyder must go, sooner the better, now that we know he is bought and paid for, all creditability is out the window. At lest He did have the balls to veto the gun cary bill today.

Um, Sparrow, I always had the idea you were reading posts. You have just repeated a script. You are denying that RTW in Michigan is a billionaire-backed program and has nothing to do with a political power grab?

What do you know about a "Granholm Economic Plan" in effect which was apart from that of House repubs?

As opposed to a homeless guy-backed program?

Lets be real. Everything that happens in politics has money behind it.

The RTW states have the same fluctuating employment as other states - as though rtw doesn't even exist. What has happened is:
** Collective bargaining has lost its power (the true goal).
** Workers making less money now purchase less. They flock to the dollar stores buying cheap goods made by indentured laborers who can't afford to buy their own product.
Workers making a living wage, not billionaires, are the true "job creators" and are the ones who drive our economy.

The Toyota truck plant in Texas pays better starting wages than the UAW jobs in Detroit. Tell us how RTW lowers wages?
