Right-to-work drive gains steam in Michigan

DETROIT — In this historic stronghold of the American labor movement, the phrase “right to work” is seen by many as fighting words.

But with a new GOP-controlled state Legislature and a Republican governor in place in Lansing, a move is afoot to make Michigan the 23rd state in the nation to adopt legislation that would prohibit unions and employers from regulating collection of union dues or requiring employees to join a union if their workplace is organized.

That's one way to turn around the rust belt.

I'd say it's a great way.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Yep. it's about time people actually had a choice in how they work. Union shops are just as bad as any social program, it comes at the expense of individual freedom. Thank, I'll take freedom and the responsibility for myself that comes with it.

It's a rare time in American and even more so in the Motor City, the Lions are 4-0, the Tigers are in the playoffs and they look good, and now there is evidence that the population is finally broke enough to stand up to the unions. I sure hope that the few folks who still live in the rust belt take notice of this and put themselves back to work by voting for conservatives who understand how to make their communities business friendly again!

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
