If New York passed such a law, then maybe, just maybe, I'd be allowed to plug in a light strip into an extension cord at a trade show instead of having to find a Teamster electrical guy to do it.

Unions only make up around 10% of the workforce according to data from 2010 I think it was. Listening to the union stooges one would wonder how anyone could survive not being in a union.

And the union honcho's nephew gets a union job where he sits around and does nothing while the rest of the union crew has to make up for him while they make the same pay knowing if they say anything they will get beat up by union goons.

Or Chicago. We had a booth at a trade show and they had to handle all the shipping and electrical. Total racket.

You can't make a point without fabrication? Anybody can post emotional tantrums and waste space - this doesn't honor the spirit of the forum at all. Maybe you should channel your creative skills into writing novels.

I thought democrats liked spreading the wealth? That is what this is. Now companies will be able to hire more people and spread the wealth around.

The most successful and wealthy companies in the world have union workforces. So again, how is this going to help Michigan?

I think you watch too much TV. You should get away from the TV and that computer screen occasionally. I've seen you post that you have young children. Really? You spend a lot of time on here spewing hatred for the poor, the working poor and anyone who doesn't believe in exactly everything you believe in.

You should spend more quality time with those kids.

I've never seen more misinformation from one individual in my life. Have you EVER looked at any issue with an open mind EVER?
