Those two union guys are exactly the kind of workers I’d want to hire. /sarc

Michigan requires five days to pass before the MI house and senate can reconcile and finally pass the bills (ie, next Tuesday). Expect an ugly five days with lots of arm twisting to try to prevent final passage.

Good, get it through before the unions could organize their thugs. They always look the same. I wonder if any of them even own a razor (including the women).

So, the unions are taking a hard stand against allowing people to chose their associations. I thought that the left was pro-choice. Their hard stance against choice is further proof that they are not for choice, instead they are pro-murder, period!

Someone is going to end up dead over this. The unions will not take this gently. Not in Michigan,

The unions did this to themselves. After both the big union proposals were crushed in the election, they immediately started harassing legislators to oppose RTW when nobody was even talking about it. Also there's a considerable number of conservative union conscripts these days who want out. Plus there are pro union RTW supporters who recognize that their unions have become nothing more than political organizations.

Job security comes from a profitable employer. A union never improves the bottom line. Way to go Michigan for giving your workers a choice!

Nice of the SEIU to put Obama right on their shirt to show where their loyalties lie.

"a blow to organized labor in the home of the U.S. auto industry." The problem, of course, is that this home, along with most of the other homes in Michigan, is underwater. The problem is that labor expenses in Michigan are so high, BECAUSE of the labor policies there, that people (like me) are abandoning the state. This law is one glimmer of hope that this problem can be reversed.

They do that just by existing, why is today any different.
