LANSING, Mich. — The Michigan Legislature gave final approval Tuesday to a bitterly contested right-to-work plan limiting the power of unions, a devastating and once unthinkable defeat for organized labor in a state considered a cradle of the movement.
Unswayed by Democrats' pleas and thousands of protesters inside and outside the state Capitol, the House approved two final bills, sending them on to Republican Gov. Rick Snyder. One dealt with private sector workers, the other with government employees. Both measures cleared the Senate last week.

IFthe unions are so great then the people will join them, they have that right.

People aren't stupid, they saw what the unions have done to Michigan and this is a referendum against union domination.
I salute those with the balls to stand against the Marxists.
That's what i'm talking about baby. See Michigan now you have a choice to do as you please. Welcome to the bright side of things.
Good, it's about time somebody stood up to these Union thugs and wanna be bolchiviks.

Michigan Gov. Snyder signs right-to-work bills.
snip~
LANSING, Mich. — Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has signed right-to-work legislation, dealing a devastating and once-unthinkable defeat to organized labor in a state that has been a cradle of the movement for generations.
He put his signatures on the bills Tuesday, hours after the state House passed the measures as the chants of thousands of angry pro-union protesters filled the Capitol.
Snyder says a failed ballot proposal to enshrine collective bargaining rights in the constitution triggered the discussion that led to the passage and signing of right-to-work.
During a news conference, he called the protests "an exercise in democracy."

Watch the video of the so called "Peaceful" union protestors in the OP.
Makes you mad enough to want to beat the shit out of these selfish commies yourself.
Just when I thought we were doomed, low and behold states rights. :thumbsup:
AND in Michigan no less. :huh:
Hope our jubilation is not premature. :unsure:
I love watching these union goons go apeshit over losing their stranglehold on Michigan of all places. Now, with that in mind, what do you think the chances of the rest of the Rust Belt going to RTW states would be??

I see them going one at a time very slowly. But that's just my way of thinking. :popcorn:

Let's say for shits and giggles the entire Rust Belt goes RTW, I think it will give the Democrats an ulcer in that they lost a huge chunk of support, and votes!!

I think you will see more and more of the silent moriarty come out of the woodwork. :thumbup:
The leftist loons are going crazy in Michigan and it's fun to watch. The mayor of Lansing is a Socialist and this is really getting to him. He ran against Snyder and lost.
Now, Geoffrey Fieger (Kevorkian Attorney who also ran for governor awhile back) is going nuts buying air-time. He's crying that Michigan is taken over by "far-right Republican radicals!" NOBODY would call Snyder that except a FAR LEFT SOCIALIST. He's a RHINO, but do you see how much good even a RHINO can do when he replaces a Socialist or a Communist (hint, hint).
It's great comic relief in our state as the federal government slides down the slippery slope.
If you don't know Feiger, here's a spoof on him. He's got Feiger nailed! As soon as I get the "FAR right Republican radical" commercial, I'll post it. It's hilarious.

What's funny is that THESE are the ones crying about the "leechers" who will take advantage of working in a unionized workplace without "contributing." Just don't point out the 47% who pay no federal income tax! :lol:
This battle is making my day! The other funny thing was, Snyder said he didn't want this devisive issue, but he'd sign it if it came across his desk. The unions forced it in November, of course THEY were expecting a different outcome--"Damn those FAR RIGHT REPUBLICAN RADICALS!" (aka Average Michigan citizen)
Hannity commented on the double standard in the media we are all aware of. Media minimizes this violence - taking down a tent with women and elderly inside. But anything from a Tea Party rally would be exaggerated. Today (Wednesday) he will be showing more examples of violence on the left.

So much for coming together ha!
In an age when an overbearing Federal government dictates the operation of private comapanies with tens of thousands of pages of bureaucratic regulations covering everything from the type of soap in their restrooms to the personal conduct of their CEO, unions are a dinosaur which serve not useful function.
It's almost as if the unions feel nobody would voluntarily join. :glare:

You do have them die hard like zip. :ohmy:
I was so thrilled to watch the Steven Crowder video and see just how butthurt these union thugs were....Just so defensive and mad because they didn't get their way! Like little spoiled schoolgirls. Maybe if they would've cut their union dues down a tad over the years and/or not given so much toward the "OBAMA PLAN", they could have afforded to buy out some local gov't officials!
As far as "Hoffa Jr's" comments, well,.........good luck with the repercussions. You saw what happened to Jimmy boy over these types of comments and outspokenness. :sneaky: Maybe he'll find the same wet concrete as his father!

I don't think many of those pussies could make it 10 seconds into a fight without their fat union asses passing out.

It just might happen. I was watching FOX the other day, they had on the guy who took those 4 shots to the head (and was still standing) he threw out a challenge to the guy who assualted him, surrender and we organize an MMA style bout or don't surrender and I'm coming after you with an arrest warrant and you'll be jailed.
I'd volunteer to be the reporters coach/trainer.... :wink: but I think that fat Union goon is too much of a coward for a fair fight.

It wouldn't be much of a fight, that one dude landed four decent shots on that guys head and face and it didn't have much effect.
I look at those dudes and I see a lot of beer and pizza in those big guts which means diabetes and high blood.

Actually, I don't think he'll need much coaching. As I understand it, he is a professionally trained in martial arts. The only reason he didn't take the guy down who sucker punched him was because he was vastly outnumbered.
If that union skuzzball does actually show up, he will get his clock cleaned.
Now, if it were me. I'd press assault and batter charges on the guy and sue the union!
