The house is already taking the first vote.

This might be a done deal by midnight.

Snyder and House/Senate leaders said it would be passed this year.

They scheduled the H+S in session for the entire weekend if needed.

I doubt the RATS will even vote. I also don't think they can stop it by running out of state like they did in WI.

Good for Michigan. They are probably getting tired of the South opening up billion dollar factories and the workers getting the same pay and benefits.

Thanks for the updates and the vids/tweets.

Glad the State Police acted like police should, not like those WI Capitol police did.

I wonder why this isn’t in breaking news?

This is a huge story!

Update from Dave Agema

Voted YES on HB 4054. Freedom to work. It simply allows a new hiree to chose to join or not to join a union for condition of employment. It does not get rid of collective bargaining. This bill prevents people from NOT getting hired if they don’t like the union or what it stands for.

The dems are walking off the House floor in protest and refusing to vote. They then came back in and voted.

The bill passed.

True; but the Dems did react to the removal of the thuggery by filing a lawsuit to force the thugs back in, THEN a motion to adjourn the legislature until the lawsuit was adjudicated!

They failed in this; we won. Action picks back up Tuesday as the bill has to be held over until then.

Thanks for the update. Never a dull moment.

Shame on the Dems, who would hold the entire legislative process hostage to their union cronies.

My sympathies. Leo Girard and Richie Tumpka must have put the request into President Jarrett.

Either that, or he's looking for a cliff to push America off of!
