Workers DO have the right to form unions.

This vote was to allow workers the right NOT to join a union if they don't want to.

Many workers would willingly choose to earn 5% less instead of earning that 5% and having to send it to the unions to donate to their idealogical enemies!

Workers already had a choice of working in union shops or not working in union shops. Nobody makes a person take a union job. But the legislation has successfully removed a large amount of power from the unions workers do chose to form in the future. The legislation was a mistake... and in 20 years when our state looks like Florida or South Texas(full of people who don't speak the language but are willing to work for next to nothing) we'll then be debating how much of our State taxes will be used to suppliment their income.

Understand, I don't work for a union and I never have.

Ahhh! Now that I can support! My friend is a schoolteacher, and he always tells me how the union intimidates him and bullies him around. I can tell he wouldn't be with them if we didn't live in the Peoples Republic of Taxachusettes, home to the worst of all unions, Local 25.
