Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer on Friday signed a package of bills repealing the state's so-called "right to work" law that allowed workers to opt out of unions, a long-sought victory for labor organizers facing an era of diminished power. Whitmer became the first governor since the 1960s to roll back right-to-work legislation.

Yes there is something that prevents it. It is called slashed tires and keyed doors.

That can go two ways, buddy!

(BTW, I don't have a car, so I guess that they'd have to vandalize the municipal bus I take to work.)

Really? You think we want this? Maybe two counties out of the entire State.

In my younger years, I had to join 5 different unions to have a job.

NEVER AGAIN...

I became self employed in 1980 & I NEVER looked back.

The Unions are NOT to be trusted.

I was a grocery checker in Los Angeles in late 60’s.

There was a vote held on whether or not to strike.

MEMBERS HAD TO BE AT A MEETING TO VOTE—EARLY EVENING HOURS.

I DID attend that meeting.

Only about 100 or so in the room.

WE VOTED TO NOT STRIKE.

I went home thinking I would be at my shift the next day.

EARLY AM news: CHECKERS ON STRIKE !!!!!!!

WE NEVER VOTED TO STRIKE

Unions were demanding around 50 cents an hour raise. I think they settled for about 5 cents.

BUT——WE ALL LOST MORE INCOME IN THOSE STRIKE DAYS THAN WE EVER MADE UP-— AND-—

THE UNION BOSSES OUTRIGHT LIED

NO public employee should ever be allowed to Unionize.

And that is the proper response to unions. compete. There are many factors in the current environment encouraging self employment.

In return, the slave owner provided food, clothing, shelter, and a modicum of healthcare to his or her enslaved servants.

Agreed. We all know who they are and I have been proudly boycotting their crap for over 20 years for just that reason.

This is what the majority of Michigan voters want. So be it.

Michigan "elections" have been rigged for the Demoncrats since 2018.

The Michigan Assistant Democrats have no problem with Assisting, because they know their Red seats are safe.

Now, the Michigan Pubbies can work less and posture every once in a while to fool the rubes.

Unions should not control the ability of individuals to work for companies.
