I think the numbers of those who opt out will be high enough that the union won’t have enough enforcers to cover it.
I’m betting at least 40% in the first couple of years. After that the union will try raising dues and dive out even more.

Didn’t OH have a referendum vote last year on RTW that failed? Didn’t pay a lot of attention but Rush made quite a big deal out of it, saying it would be a good indicator for the presidential election. Its failure also was said to be a factor in eliminating Kasich as a possible VP candidate. I’d tend to pick off KY then MO before going back to OH with a labor vote (but what do I know?).

Hope your right. That 40% sounds about right, that will be some major money out of those unions.
When I was at the P.O., (like and idiot), I joined the union, only to regret it later. Thing is we did not have to join the union, stupid me.
We were told you could only opt out on the anniversary of your starting date, which we could never find out when that was. Even if we could, they would change the rules. lol.
I quit that damned place after only 3 years of their non work, slow down methods of operating.

Mitchell poll: Michigan voters favor right-to-work, 51-41
- By union household: A strong majority (56 percent) of non-union households support right-to-work. Support among union households is only at 40 percent.
The unions and the democrats have big problems. Michigan unions dump some $250 million into democrat campaigns annually.

As an x-Michigander I believe that all the unions should be disolved. They had their use at one time a long time ago but now have become an arm of the Democrat party & a bunch of thugs who take money from the overpaid workers. No wonder shops have closed due to the high wages & retirement benefits that are unable to be paid anymore.What's at Stake in Michigan Union Fight: The Democrat Money-Laundering Operation

The union knuckledraggers are Barrys private army that he told us about back in 2008. We just didnt understand what he was telling us.Speak for yourself butt wipe. Us Birchers completely understood back then and were yelling this crap from the mountaintop more than 30 years ago!
"Good Conservatives" castigated us; 'tin foil hat crowd, dontcha know?'
Oh well, Now You Know! Too Little Too Effin Late! As a Bircher, my BIGGEST enemy was those so called PATRIOTS who laughed at us and carried the commie pig water.
Hey Stupid Useful Idiot! We're all pretty effed now, thanks to you!
Don't want to hear it no more from the likes of GB, Hannatee and El Rushbo. Those morons REFUSED to take the bull by the horns and kick Nutz.
They kicked us instead. Pay for it a$$wipes.
End of Rant
Sorry, I have no more tolerance for stupid, so called conservative who WON'T fight.

Sorry to be so impertinent. I didn’t mean to call you, personally, a butt wipe.
I was ranting at the collective buffoonery of the Pubbies. Your post was just an expedient.
I did not mean to insult you personally, I hope you accept my apology.
This is an issue that I am passionate about.
Have a good evening.

Whew! You may want to lighten up a little. The jackasses currently living in this country are too busy trying to be a “nice person” to worry about freedom and liberty. Those days are over. We’re all lowlife, freeloading commie scumbags now. But hey! Somebody had to replace the old defunct USSR.

I don’t know how I ended up posting this stuff to myself!
Blame FR!!
FlyWing, in my book, you are all right.
I’m just ranting against the world at this point.
Have a good evening, and don’t let the damned bed bugs bite! LOL

The left loves lobbyist groups funded by rich old white guys, unless they lobby for policies they don’t like.
