Thousands Of Union Protesters Have Stormed The State Capitol In Michigan To Protest The GOP's Right To Work Bill!!!

...

Despite a vocal counteroffensive from President Barack Obama and other national Democrats Monday, Michigan's GOP-led state legislature is expected to pass the legislation. Republican Gov. Rick Snyder has said he will sign the bill if it reaches his desk.


On the surface, Michigan may seem like a surprising battleground for the latest GOP assault on organized labor. The manufacturing-heavy state is a stronghold for several powerful public and private-sector unions, most notably the United Auto Workers. The New York Times reports tha just last month, labor leaders asked the state's voters to approve an initiative that would have codified collective bargaining in the state constitution.

That measure backfired, and last week, GOP state legislators pushed through the right-to-work bill without any committee hearings or Democratic support.

The conflict exposed growing tensions between Michigan's labor movement and the state's Republican lawmakers, echoing a trend that has been popping up in statehouses across the Midwest since 2010, including in Ohio, Wisconsin, and Indiana.

But if the outcome of those labor fights are any indication, it is unlikely that Michigan's right-to-work fight will end at Snyder's desk today. According to reports, labor organizers are already exploring legal options to repeal the right-to-work law, and recall Republican lawmakers instrumental in passing the bill.

They are pissed that workers will have a choice.

Idiot unions.

They know people will gtfo of those corrupt political arms.....I mean unions.

It's just funny seeing them protest AGAINST people having a choice...

Yes! Whiner babies are throwing a hissy fit.

It looks like they will have to stand in the corner.

Bad boys!

I hope Michigan get the right to work bill. That will help tha state.

Unions

Never joined one that I wasn't FORCED TOO !

Asked the Union rep of the Retail Food Clerks out of NYC, when I worked at Gristedes Grocery Store in Westport, CT. just what would they do for me if I was fired ?

After some careful thought, he replied " I'll be sure they had a GOOD REASON." No mention on HOW I would ever find out what it was, lol ! It's called a " Sweetheart Contract " BETWEEN the union and the business where YOU don't count; just CONTRIBUTE to the 'Daylight Bandits, without Guns' , as I called them.

Eagle

Front page Drudge is headlined- there will be blood. The teachers have basically been allowed not to work today because they have to protest.

Call me dumb but what is the issue? Why are these people all PO'ed cause people shouldn't be forced to join something in order to work. Are we in America? These people are stupid- Ever heard of a company called Hostess? They refused to bow down to the union. Is there more to this bill that is not being released? Or are these people putting politics before the good of the state?

I figured the Commys from coast to coast would be swarming to Michigan any day now.

No, Luisport, 'those people' as you called them, are putting the 'good of... the PEOPLE before the 'good of the state' !

Thank GAWD they passed that bill. Now those thug pos goons can all go home and sit on their fat stupid asses and chain smoke and drink themselves to death while bitching and moaningf like communist cunt brains.

Maybe their cigarette ashes will fall on their windbreakers with union logos and set them on fire.

Hey idiots, this ISN'T about "GOP assault on organized labor". It is ABOUT the CORRUPT a public employee unions forcing non-union workers to pay for your fucking criminal tactics and using OUR money to fund your INFLATED pensions and salaries.

To ALL you fucking union liberals who use taxpayer money to feed your worthless asses....FUCK YOU!!!!

Get BACK in the classroom and ACTUALLY teach the kids. You motherfuckers should be ashamed of yourselves and how you steal from the rest of us and then have the BALLS to corrupt the kids you are suppose to teach with your self-serving, and DISHONEST propaganda.

The worst thing about this is this: You cocksuckers KNOW what you say is totally fucking dishonest, yet, you do it anyway. You and your supporters are the WORST kind of parasites. The taxpayers don't owe you SHIT. Quit if you don't like it like the rest of us do.

You DON'T have ANY fucking rights to Government jobs. Once again...FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like this AC!!!

I just don't understand why these people are so pissed.Maybe they have never had to use their Union. Anyone I know that has ever expected their union to have their back got shafted. Unions collect the dues, negotiate and campaign then when the workers have an issue the lines are busy.

"What we want?"

"To watch are ass grow!"

"When do we want it?"

"Like everything else, NOW!"

You can't blame them. Why would they want to see their feather-bedded government "jobs" threatened in any way.

Having said that, most of them are crooks robbing the taxpayer blind.

Damn. Well said.

The BEAST has MANY HEADS(FRONT) for the hidden agenda. Funny....all these "UPRISINGS" around the globe. One mastermind and the MUSLIM MUSCLE working for The Hidden Hand.

Your colors are clear and visible "Fallen"...

The President "Accuser of the bretheren", BELIAL and his sons of perdition. Violence is violence and visible in all it's forms. These "protest's" are PRO-TEST's on the SUBJECTS of Obama's Nation. Or did you think the big Oval Office was occupied by a fellow humanitarian and lover of peace?

and who's thinking about the good of the public?
unionistas are a significant minority, and they demand raises that increase wages for them, prices for everyone and NO benefit for the rest of the public.
Not to mention that the public that hires the unionistas has no control over them, because the pols side with the unionistas that shower them with perks and money if they abandon the majority

for the fall of the unions!

Unions are destroying the workd and all they do is take the subs and nothing more, the only one that loses is the worker.

Of course, unions exist because the worker is not always protected, so change the law based on what works for the employee and do away with the unions...

Well, what are you waiting for? There's work to be done...

Sorry Luisport, what you started as an informational thread seems to have attracted nothing more than a bunch of ignorant whiney bastards who don't know their ass from a hole in their paychecks!
