Monroe County’s Dale Zorn, R-Ida, was one of only six Republicans to vote against the hotly debated Right-to-work legislation that passed the Michigan House Thursday.
The bill passed 58-52 in the Republican-controlled Michigan House mostly along party lines. Protesting Democrats held a temporary walkout. The bill now must sit for five days before the Senate can vote on it.
This is flat out wrong! I live in a right to work state and yes it is true you will get more jobs. However, most will be low paying jobs period. One of the main reasons middle class income has not gone up in over 30 years is the fact that some people have been told the lie that Unions are the reason. No it is not! This country was built on Unions. Please look at Texas most minimum wage jobs created, poor schools, and bad healthcare. I know you all have seen our disaster Rick Perry. He and his minions are behind these problems. Michigan just fell into a sink hole right to work. More like right to give corporations the right to do whatever whenever they see fit.

And yet has a higher unemployment rate and a DECLINE in population because the unions were doing SO WELL...And Granholm...SHE was a peach, wasn't she?!
My point exactly blame the Unions. Not the bosses that mis-managed the company and paid themselves a ton of money to run those compaines into the ground. The fact is this country needs more Unions. I find it really odd that in Japan it is 22 to1 ratio from Ceo pay to worker and in America it is 245 to 1. Yeah right to work seems to be working real well.
Anyways its good to see a Texan!

It's interesting, isn't it? From the same people who want to control women's bodies!
You sure have those liberal BS talking points down... LMAO
...Anyone on this board who is familiar with my posts knows that I truly have no political affiliation other than commonsense and equality.
It would seem to me that right-to-work would promote the equality you espouse.
It does not prohibit organization but rather gives those who DON'T want to participate more 'equality'.
...and for reference don't 'elections have consequences'?
The loss of collective bargaining is going to promote and support equality for workers? How is that?
Yes, they are called political mandates from the electorate.
Michigan GOP pushes right to work; Zorn against | MonroeNews.com
It is incredible this now. I'm not sure the state is ready for this...opinions?
ps. I'm betting Haymarket's head is about to explode about right now...

This has nothing to do with collective bargaining, unionization or RTW. IF your agreement was in writing as you state you had an EXCELLENT lawsuit unless there is other information regarding a legitimate reason you were not performing in compliance with said written agreement you failed to provide in you anecdote…Here's a quick anecdote. In my younger days I had a pay dispute with my employer. I was not paid what I was told I would make, in writing, no less. I elected to join the union when I was hired. I did not have to join.
EXACTLY…hence the passage of RTW in Michigan…Yes, they are called political mandates from the electorate.
Who is continuing, even after the election, to attempt to ramrod female reproduction control down the throats of America?
It is thus no surprise to me that these same people who would deny equal rights to women
and to people who are disabled
would also deny rights to American workers.
I hope it passes. If I want to be a police officer, public school teacher, or any other public sector employee I shouldn't have to join a union in order to get the job.

I like to handle my own affairs, stand-up and speak for myself. In this instance it got me nowhere. I talked to management and HR until I was blue in the face. Being new and young they were not in the least bit threatened. They had no intention of honoring their written commitment to me. I eventually swallowed my pride and contacted the union rep via phone early one morning. By the end of the workday my boss's secretary handed me an envelope with a letter of acknowledging the "mistake" and guaranteeing my new adjusted salary and a check for the backpay that was rightfully mine.
Right to Work would have helped me how?
I don't see how.
Yes, they are called political mandates from the electorate.

Corporate shills, turds and idiots, every one of them.

I can't find the actual text of either version of the bill online--even on the Michigan legislatures website. I've heard mention that Union dues would be voluntary and a lot about how much unions had done re: minimum wage and 8 hour work days
