发帖数: 29846 | 1 After an almost ten-year struggle involving hundreds of thousands of
mobilized Hoosiers, it appears that Indiana will finally be able to enjoy
all the benefits of a Right to Work law.
On Wednesday, the Indiana House of Representatives passed the Right to Work
bill to free nearly 200,000 Hoosiers who have been forced to pay union dues
or fees for the privilege of getting up everyday and going to work so they
can provide for their families.
The Indiana Senate passed an identical bill earlier this week but must still
approve the House version before it goes to Governor Mitch Daniels to sign.
Big Labor's intimidation campaign will now shift to the Senate, and we will
continue to mobilize pro-Right to Work Hoosiers to counter it.
But it now seems very likely that Indiana will become America's 23rd Right
to Work state, despite Big Labor's heavy-handed opposition and a "walkout"
by forced-unionism proponents in the Indiana legislature to stall the bill.
With over $127 million in forced dues at stake, the union bosses stopped at
nothing to hang onto their forced-unionism power.
Some union bosses even threatened to "occupy" the Super Bowl -- to be held
in Indianapolis on February 5.
"You can tell them we'll take the Super Bowl and shove it," one Teamster
union boss threatened -- a threat that still looms.
But ultimately, the Democrat walkout crumbled under the weight of public
outrage and the forces of worker freedom have prevailed for now.
When Indiana becomes the first Right to Work state in the Manufacturing Belt
, Hoosiers are certain to enjoy a significant advantage over all of their
neighbors and the rest of the 27 non-Right to Work states.
Virtually every site selection consultant on record has testified that as
many as half of their clients will not even consider expanding or relocating
to non-Right to Work states.
That's a lesson Governor Daniels said he experienced first-hand when
Volkswagen chose to build a new plant in Right to Work Tennessee -- after
the company wouldn't even take his phone calls.
I want to thank the thousands of dedicated Hoosiers who have stood up over
the years to demand passage of the Indiana Right to Work law.
Concerned citizens like you made this possible with your steady support for
worker freedom and the National Right to Work Committee.
I know you'll be there with us going forward as we continue to mobilize for
worker freedom in other states and for roll-call votes in Congress on the
National Right to Work Act.
Sincerely,
Mark Mix
P.S. The National Right to Work Committee relies on your voluntary
contributions to fund its programs. | l******a
发帖数: 3803 | 2 In wake of this epic wrestling with BIG unions in mid-west since last year,
things start to turn slightly brighter. Indiana sets a good example for
others to follow.
Can't leave Ohio alone. Since Republican governor took office, a year passed
. The business-friendly-ness of OH climbed from 43th to 9th nationally. Ford
invested $1b here, and a steel mill open facilities in Northeast ohio.
American greeting card company will stick to its OHIO headquarter. Honda
will make cars in Columbus. Captain America shot a sequel here.
All these the former Damnocrap Strickland could've only dreamed of. | l****z
