Snyder and the Koch Bros Mich GOP learned from the mistake Kasich made in Ohio. They made sure the new "Right to Work yourself to death for peanuts" bill included some spending. Under MI law, that means it is not subject to a recall vote by the people:

Koch-Funded ALEC Launches Assault on Michigan Unions - Democratic Underground

The GOP- scared to DEATH of the voters!

So the Koch Brothers now own Michigan ?

1 down, 56 more states to go.

CA is going to be a tough cookie to sell and Obama hasn't told us yet where those new states are.

Texas is a RTW state and we're booming. No ones working to death for Peanuts.

If you want any of your jobs back and a healthy Detroit, dump the unions.

Seeing that oil props up our economy, that's not really a fair comparison.

There are other RTW states, mostly in the South.

Going RTW is not a death knell to anyone but the unions.

How sad, bloated union bosses will no longer be able to force themselves a paycheck from people who actually do useful work. And now maybe jobs will come back to Michigan because they don't have to pay new hires $120,000 a year in wages & benefits. It will benefit the people who need help the most: minorities who don't have the family/political connections to get union work.
