American are starting to fight back! Way to go Michigan!!! Home of Brad Keselowski, driver of the #2 Miller Lite Dodge and the NASCAR 2012 Champ! Woot!

Wow! This is HUGE! Glad to see it. Hope it stands, legally! Wisconsin should be following suit in the next session. :)
I hope they can start to break the “quasi-legal” mafias!
I remember speaking to a relative several years ago, who was a “union steward” about his fears of direct deposit of paychecks, and his frustration that the union forced him to work to regain the job of a drunk at work union member, who was busted with a DWI driving a company truck.
I had to laugh about his concerns regarding the paycheck “issue”. I explained the feds and the State of Michigan already know how much each employee is paid, because the company bookkeepers have to report that every month.
It's not like tax cheating scams work if you are paid as an hourly or salaried employee of a large publically traded company.
The government already knew how much employees made that week, and took their cut first!
As for his supposed duty to “save the job” of the driver who chose to drive a company truck while drunk out of his mind...I asked him how he lived with himself.
Congrats, Michigan! I hope Wisconsin can join you soon. However, we have had our hands full just keeping the PUBLIC EMPLOYEE unions at bay; not sure how the private unions will go for this yet.
Never been more proud of my state. The unions have reaped the whirlwind with their over-reaching. Great stuff going on here.

Michigan ain’t dead yet! Yeah! Now if Alaska can follow suit....
As a former member of the Teamsters (I hope they rot in hell like Hoffa is right now), I say congrats Michigan Republicans who rammed the legislation thru.
here is what I think is happening.
I think blacks are starting to leave the rust belt states that they have helped destroy and are starting to move back to the south. In particular Virginia and North Carolina, which is why those two states have suddenly become competitive for the democrats.
But, look for the rust best states to start moving right in the coming elections post Obama.

Rules require a five-day wait before the House and Senate vote on each other’s bills, which would prohibit making payment of union fees a condition of employment. They are scheduled to reconvene Tuesday, when Michigan could become the 24th state with right-to-work laws if the measures are quickly enacted and Snyder signs them, as he has pledged to do.So the unions have until Tuesday to twist some arms in an effort to derail this. Expect an ugly weekend in the Michigan capital.
This good news from Michigan and other states with recent right-to victories has been brought to us by Barack Obama’s failed economic policies, which have hastened the destruction of unions and the corrupt cities they dominate.
Take what’s left of Detroit...please. The only thing that’s been growing in Detroit during the Obama years has been its poverty level.
As unions continue to lose power in non-productive Democratic Detroit, the productive, anti-union Republican areas of Michigan correspondingly gain power in the state legislature, with yesterday’s results.
After four more years of Obama, will unions like the UAW still exist? If the so-far courageous Republican governors in the Midwest don’t go wobbly, no.
