发帖数: 29846 | 1 Union Goons React Calmly As Michigan Becomes Right-to-Work State
by Jammie
We see the union thugs are finally growing up.
Oh, wait…
Republicans slammed right-to-work legislation through the Michigan House
and Senate Thursday, drawing raucous protests from throngs of stunned union
supporters, whose outnumbered Democratic allies were powerless to stop it.
Just hours after they were introduced, both chambers approved measures
prohibiting private unions from requiring that nonunion employees pay fees.
The Senate quickly followed by voting to impose the same requirement on most
public unions.
When Democrats ram legislation through it’s doing the work of the people.
When the GOP does it, it’s “slamming” though legislation.
The chaos drew raucous protests from hundreds of union supporters, some
of whom were pepper-sprayed by police when they tried to storm the Senate
chamber.
Because of rules requiring a five-day delay between votes in the two
chambers on the same legislation, final enactment could not take place until
Tuesday at the earliest. Republican Gov. Rick Snyder, who previously had
said repeatedly that right-to-work was “not on my agenda,” told reporters
Thursday he would sign the measures.
Democrats denounced the bills as an attack on worker rights, but the GOP
sponsor insisted they would boost the economy and jobs. A House vote on
public-sector unions was expected to come later.
A victory in Michigan would give the right-to-work movement its
strongest foothold yet in the Rust Belt region, where organized labor
already has suffered several body blows. Republicans in Indiana and
Wisconsin recently pushed through legislation curbing union rights, sparking
massive protests.
They’d prefer a moribund economy and escalating unemployment as long as
they get theirs. Everyone else be damned.
Naturally the democratic process drew comparisons to the Third Reich.
Lt. Gov. Brian Calley repeatedly gaveled for order during the Senate
debate as Democrats attacked the legislation to applause from protesters in
the galley. At one point, a man shouted, “Heil Hitler! Heil Hitler! That’s
what you people are.” He was quickly escorted out. Another later yelled,
“We will remember in November.”
Eight people were arrested for resisting and obstructing when they tried
to push past two troopers guarding the Senate door, state police Inspector
Gene Adamczyk said.
Protesters waved placards and chanted slogans such as “Union buster”
and “Right-to-work has got to go.” Adamczyk said the troopers used pepper
spray after the people refused to obey orders to stop.
Try rubber bullets the next time. They leave a mark. | m*********a

and F stocks to benefit from this law.
If you read news, this is bad for union labors. But it will be extremely
positive for corporations such as GM and Ford in the long term, to keep
their labor cost in line with the foreign car makers, who opened their
plants mainly in the south right-to-work states.
