Michigan's unions will devote all their resources to fight the recently passed right-to-work law by trying to overturn it in court, doing recalls of politicians, holding rallies and trying to get it put on the ballot, according to a top union leader’s comments during a recent teleconference.
Al Garrett, president of Michigan AFSCME Council 25, and Larry Roehrig, secretary treasurer, laid out their plans about how to “attack” the law. The conference call was recorded and Michigan Capitol Confidential obtained the audio file.
"There is going to be retribution," Garrett said.
Garrett predicted that right-to-work law would be repealed in some manner within two years.
He said recall action would start "as soon as we can." He said union lawyers are combing over the law to see if it can be overturned in court.
Any legal action wouldn’t begin until after the legislators are out of session, which Garrett estimated would be Dec. 27.
"We don’t want to give them an opportunity to correct their mistakes," he said. "There is going to be undoubtedly some petition effort."
Garrett said the union will publish the names of the Republican legislators who voted for the right-to-work legislation that Gov. Rick Snyder signed into law Dec. 11. Garrett said the union would post those legislators names on the union's website.
"We will not forget the folks who did this to us," he said.
About 17.5 percent of Michigan's workforce belongs to a union. A right-to-work law gives workers the freedom to choose whether they want to pay dues or fees to a union. Previously, workers could be fired for not paying dues or fees.
Roehrig said 116 people chose not to be members of the Michigan AFSCME Council 25 and instead paid agency fees.
Garrett said he expects a few more than 100 to exercise their new right to opt-out of the union.
"There is no cure for stupid, and that’s what we saw this week from the Republican side of the aisle," Roehrig said.
What these scumbags don’t think we know is there is ALWAYS retribution from them whether we fight them or not; so fight them full speed ahead at every chance.
Oh, grow up!

There is nothing they can do that would top a company leaving the state.
“About 17.5 percent of Michigan’s workforce belongs to a union”
17.5% used to belong to the union, I bet it gets cut in half.
It sounds like the Nazis have their Huggies in a wad. Sorry comrades! 2014 is going to be America’s turn again. We’re going to call it the reckoning.
Bolsheviks do what Bolsheviks do.
Tell the damned Union Pigs to STFU!
Kinda like the older Mercury outboard “welfare motors”
They’re black and they don’t work.
You're damned right, Skippy!
Just not the form that your tiny mind can grasp.
It gets much much worse when people allow the lefties to intimidate,they might curse and whine but they won’t be doing any serious damage.Thugs of any stripe act the same,standing up to them will always scare them off.It is when you give them what they ask for,that they get dangerous.
And Luca Brasi...
Might be that the current union thugs won't stop the attacks until the meet up with Hoffa and Brasi. More likely that a number of their enemies will die though - it's the democratic way.
LOL
