Well, that may be true however unions are on their way out unless they change their ways...
Michigan's Snyder pays a price for anti-union law
. . . in hypothetical matchups, Snyder "trails every Democrat we tested against him," even though the leading Democratic candidates aren't especially well known statewide (not one has name recognition above 50%).
Snyder still has two years before he'll face voters again, which is obviously an enormous amount of time in the context of campaign politics. But it's clear the governor's standing has plummeted, and would have been far stronger had he kept his word to his constituents.

Yes you are wrong. Period. As it has nothing to do with Tony hitting Crowder.
Man-up and admit it!
So stop trying to take the thread off topic.
So why are billionaires spending millions trying to kill unions?
If a person wants to work at a place, and as much as you just admitted that the union is a quasi demo financier, but the person does not want his money going to the demo's, then why should they be forced to join a union?
Maybe they have something against being extorted in order to do business.....
No one is forced to join a union. However, any scab who is enjoying a union wage but does not wish to join the union (for whatever reason) is typically required to pay a negotiation fee in lieu of union dues (usually set at 85%). This is only fair since it is the union who negotiated the wage which the scab is enjoying. What RTW law does is allow the scab to enjoy the union wage without paying any negotiation fee. Thus, he not only enjoys a free ride at the union's expense, but he actually enjoys a higher net income than dues-paying union members. All for doing nothing more than being a scab.
Get it now?
Since their tax rates were MUCH MUCH higher under Reagan, are you calling Prez Reagan an extortionist?
Maybe they have something against being extorted in order to do business.....
Do the Koch's run union shops?
They want to undermine democrats so their guys can get a lock and eliminate regs and taxes.
Nobility has nothing to do with it.
Yeah, extortion...Like I said.
Are you unable to read?Still dodging the question, I see. Is this because you know full well that RTW is nothing more than insidiously violent union-busting machination promoted by the Kochs, and thus you will not answer the question because you know I will bury you if you do, or because you really have no idea what you're talking about?
Crowder may be an ass-clown, but I'm sure he knows what RTW is really all about. Therefore, he is knowingly and consciously misleading the People and deliberately undermining the ability of middle class union workers (and middle class non-union workers as well) to earn a decent living.
In other words, he is an amoral mouthpiece for the upper class elite who uses his petty position with Faux News to spew malice and deceit. He came looking for trouble amongst the middle class and he found it.
Isn't that right?
Extortion?...
Not exactly. It is free-loading and moral thievery. For a scab to accept a wage rate that he did nothing to procure is free-loading and thievery. However, you could argue that it is extortion-by-proxy since the scab would be using the political muscle of the Koch Bros. (and media ass-clowns like Chowder) to obtain a wage rate that he does not deserve.
Are you unable to read?
I am not going to answer your off topic question as it has nothing to do with Tony hitting Crowder.
It is off topic.
This thread is about Tony hitting Crowder. Not about the actual legislation.
Here is what I suggest.
Stop a topic that has to to with the RTW legislation and you can ask all the questions you want.
But not here as this thread is about Tony hitting Crowder. Not about the actual legislation.
No it doesn't.Nah.
Goes to WHY Tony slogged crowder.
Perfectly relevant.
If the employer pays a wage amount to do the job, and the non union person does the job, he gets the wage. Regardless of your name calling, and whining. Unions are a losing proposition.

Wrong!Here is what I suggest:
Recognize this most basic reality: VIOLENCE BEGETS VIOLENCE
Chowder, and the Koch Bros., and the AFP were behaving VIOLENTLY. Albeit, they were not using their fists to behave violently. No, they were using their money and their power and their political influence and their control over mass news media to behave in a most insidiously violent way against middle class people who do not have such lethal weapons at their disposal. This was not even close to a fair fight, so don't you dare preach to me about violence.
Wrong!
You suggest wrongness!
This topic is clearly about Tony acting violently toward Crowder.
This is your rebuttal?
Come back when you have some meaningful to say. This way, you won't look so pathetically weak.
Yeaaaahhh....
How did labor unions come about, smart guy? What could possibly have been the motivating force for the inception of the labor movement? What most significant economic manifestation gave rise to the consumer-based economy, the evolution of what we now regard as the middle class American lifestyle, and brought about the ultimate defeat of communism throughout the world?
Do you know anything about the history of organized labor? I do not give a whit what sort of front you present to me or the rest of DP. I'm aware that you don't know your thumb from your d*ck; but you need to be honest with yourself, here and now, especially if you are middle class. Your future and the future of your children depends upon it.
What do you not understand?
This thread is about Tony hitting Crowder.
Nothing else.
Nothing you have said this far has anything to do with Tony hitting Crowder.
Your rants are nothing but "off-topic".
So how about getting back on topic with something meaningful instead of the pathetic weak bs you have been providing, huh?
Well, smart guy, this isn't the twenty's anymore....In case you haven't noticed all unions do now is bitch about pay, unsustainable pension programs, and heavy handed thug tactics...It is a failing model. Wake up.
What do you not understand? This thread is indeed about Tony hitting Chowder.
So what is your point?
How about if you get back on topic?
Is it really your contention Chowder wasn't asking for it, that he did not, in fact, provoke a fight?
