Unions might be on the decline, but more government workers have joined unions

“Suppose Granny’s Junction is a Christian daycare center, where children learn about Jesus while playing in Granny’s sandbox? If she’s now a state employee, is she barred from promoting a religious preference, even if her beliefs are a reason her clients chose her for child care services?”

If you take the man’s money, you work for the man. What’s the question? Of COURSE the government can prevent you from uttering religious comments. You’re already bought and paid for.

The saddest part of this is the fact that some GOP lawmakers in the state seem to back this crap.

My plea to my fellow Michiganders is please don’t blindly vote without looking at where these people stand. Races for the US house senate make a lot of noise but I think we’re hurting ourselves the worst right here at home.

I would shut it down, and close up shop before I would be forced to support a union.

Unions will be the death of the United States, just like they were the death of Detroit and other cities.

The only people who thrive under unions, are the union bosses. All the members are reduced to mediocrity under the disguise of "job security" and "regular raises". But there is nothing you can do to excel, because the very premise of unionism is SAMENESS. You must all be the same,with the only difference is HOW LONG you have been the same (seniority).

But you know the old saying, "Some people have 20 years of experience, and some have 1 year's experience, 20 times".

In a word...unions are COMMUNISM by slavery. The main difference between UNIONS and yo' MAMA is, yo' MAMA loved you unconditionally, and she didn't charge you monthly dues to think the way she did.

This is basically the government stealing money from business owners and giving it to the union.

That is all this is.

70,000? uh, that’s a ridiculous and completely false number. makes me question the 5,000 “in favour.”

If Christians running Day Cares [and Christian and Catholic Hospitals] would CLOSE their doors to the hundreds of thousands of Day Care Children, the State could not locate enough Centers for the children [or hospitals for the patients].

As long as the State needs service providers and hospitals within their borders, WE The People have the upper hand.

When 0bama-bots open the concentration camps, aka FEMA camps, not so much.

This is another example of how incredibly inventive leftists are at devising multi-million dollar legalized rackets.

“

“

If I understand correctly, there are more union workers in the Federal
Government...
than there are union workers in the private sector of the economy.

But for the moral hazard of ROBBING the Treasury of the USA...
I regret not following some of my friends into working for a Federal
Government Unit of the Federal Government.

I am MUCH poorer for not making the financially-smart decision to
take a US Gov. job.
But at least I can sleep at night.

Unlike some of my friends at college that took the bait.

any child care provider whose clients receive state subsidies for daycare are considered employees of the state?

What could follow this goofy logic?

You might be a state employee if:

You sell food to food stamp recipients.

You rent to tenants who get housing assistance.

You sell clean energy systems that qualify for subsidies.

You research and develop anything that the state deems worth a subsidy.
