Michigan Gov. Signs Right To Work Law

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder signed his state’s right-to-work bill into law, this evening, Dec. 11. Michigan, the home of the United Auto Workers and the heavily unionized auto industry, becomes the nation’s 24th right-to-work state.
The day was marred by widespread union violence in Lansing, Michigan’s capital. Unions bussed protesters in from several neighboring states, and teachers left work in two school districts to protest to such an extent that those districts shut down, reports Bryan Preston of PJMedia.Com
Union boss Jimmy Hoffa Jr. has promised “civil war” and the state Democratic Party directly threatened “blood,” says Preston. Americans for Prosperity’s on-site tent was torn down by unknown union operatives, with people including children inside. Conservative comedian and PJ alum Steven Crowder was assaulted by a man who appeared to be a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union. A reward has been building on Twitter for the assailant’s arrest and prosecution. The man was at the protest representing the IBEW, opening the possibility of Crowder suing the union itself. On Twitter, Crowder says that the man also threatened to kill him.
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania, despite a Republican governor and Republican-controlled legislature, remains backward, oppressed and uncompetitive. Is it simple fear Gov. Corbett? If so step down and let a Republican with backbone take your place.

  1. It is obvious that you don’t know what this is all about by your comment. What is going on in Michigan and Indiana has nothing to do with Pennsylvania or being competitive. Than again you only watch Rush and Fox so you wouldn’t know.

  2. For the supporters of right to work, it’s about jobs and income.

    For the opponents, it’s about getting automatic involuntary contributions to partisan politic causes and (mostly) funding of salaries and perks for union leaders.

    If you were working at a factory would you want money automatically deducted from your paychecks and given to union leaders, or would you want the power to withhold your contribution if you found the leadership using the money to give themselves high salaries?

  3. You are missing the point. It’s politics no matter what they are saying. Just like when they complain about the deficit that is not what they are talking about.
    What is their real goal, to win elections. How do Unions play into that? Scott Walker was talking about balancing his budget by breaking the Unions, not the issue.

  4. It’s politics no matter what who is saying? The unions?

    You have people who want to forcibly take other people’s money to enrich themselves. You have other people who want to be left alone to live their lives. It is Kafkaesque to say that it’s the ones who want to be left alone who are the ones motivated by politics.

    Walker, btw, is the governor of Wisconsin — not a right to work state — not Michigan. His battle was with the public employee unions and yes it was to save the state’s solvency which he appears to have done. If he was motivated by “politics” he would have behaved more like Corbett does.

    Why don’t you feel that the state and federal budget deficits are an extremely serious matter that is going to have a severe impact on the lives of yourself and children?

  5. Brainwashed, all of these issues are the same and it has nothing to do with what you are talking about. It’s about winning elections nothing else. You have to read between the lines to see the real motives. You are talking double speak from the right media. GOP is the real winner on scamming people to line their own pockets.

  6. Hi Liz!
