Wonder if the union goons will pull a Wis type protest and the left handed cowards will run off to Illinois again??

"Right-to-Work states have higher population growth, higher wage growth and greater job creation," said Vincent Vernuccio, labor policy director with the Mackinac Center. "Michigan is one step closer now to bringing more job creators and businesses to our state."The introduction of a right-to-work bill comes after the state's unions spent more than $23 million on Proposal 2, which would have permanently banned a right-to-work law in Michigan. Voters rejected the constitutional amendment change by a margin of 57 percent against to 43 percent in favor.
Immediately after the election, union executives defended their decision to try and guarantee forced unionism in the state constitution, but also began asking voters, business owners and Republican legislators to not pass a right-to-work bill because it would be divisive."

LOL

Goodness gracious, is this what passes for journalism these days? Splitting infinitives?! Shameful, really.

In any case, I have no problem with them becoming a right-to-work state. Of course, I've never been part of a union. I'm unsure that unions continue to serve the best interests of their consituents and the companies.

Looks like you will have to negotiate your own salary. I don't know how the 90% of the workforce not in unions survives. LOL

The ones who own homes survive by voting themselves a $1,500 subsidy from those who don't own homes.

This will NOT pass without a fight.

Snyder is a one trick pony who won't get re-elected.
