Does that mean he disagrees with the Taft-Hartley acts that enables right-to-work? Or does he disagree with states voting to avail themselves of this option? Or does he mean that he will use the power and purse of the Federal government to actively opposed right-to-work states with the intent to coerce them to end right-to-work?

YES, to all of the above.

This is what the Republicans need to do elsewhere. Missouri, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Pennsylvania next. We need to start draining the Democrat’s capital wherever possible, and this is a good start. Voter-ID laws and school choice next.

One correction: the unions didn’t get ugly, they’ve been ugly all along and only occasionally show their true face, like they did today.

Now that workers have a choice we will see what happens if and when new businesses open in Michigan. They can opt for collective bargaining and pay dues. But other workers do not haver to pay dues to be employed. SInce Michigan has many in private sector I am curious if the massive demos that Wisconsin saw 2011 over limiting collective bargaining for public employees will materalize in Michigan. In other words will the AFL-CIO protest focus in Mchigan?
Will liberal judges decide the law is not legal and delay it?
Stay tuned.
Liberals fight underhanded and dirty when they lose in the democratic process.

As they approached extinction one suspects that the reptilian form dinosaurs were rather cranky and aggressive too, just as our union-collectivist form of dinosaurs is today.

Third option, creepy toxic , isn’t it?
Obama like all in DNC and at state evel is dependent on union dues to fund campaigns. The more that can collect the more can be donated Democrats campaigns.
Government workers have it made—
The public and taxpayers are screwed however because when bargaining comes around all too often they all sit on the same side of the table when negotiating with Democrats whom they put in office.

Wisconsin went through recalls for two years and three Senators fell. November 2012 the GOP retook Senate and gained one seat for 18-15. GOP also holds Assembly. The Democrats do recalls routinely to overturn elections as they have labor–all the union members to gather signatures.
Maybe the public reaches a saturation point with recalls. i hope so.

The public grows wearly of so much extra legislative politcal ativiity. Why have a legislature and governor to make laws if all these counter direct democratic votes take place?
Enough is enough.

This was smart timing by the Michigan GOP. By the time the next election rolls around people will see that the situation isn’t the crisis the unions will paint is as. Any ballot initiative should be somewhat muted. It will still be a tough fight, but the timing gives an advantage to the right to work forces.

As someone who lives in Michigan, I was delighted to wake up this morning and hear this on the news as I drove to work. Why should ANYONE be forced to join a union if they don’t want to?? Barry and the rest of his useful idiots may control the national government, but the rest of us control our State.
My prediction: Union membership in Michigan will drop by 2/3 overnight.

Start impeaching these Liberal Judges now.

Good idea. Hmmm
I am weary of all this. We face a toxic battle again for a state supreme court judge race. Her liberal activist opponent is the first judge to declare the collective bargaining limits unconstitutional. She was overturned by state supreme court. We were hit with so much money and ads over Judge Prosser in 2011 no one saw that coming. More of the same next month.
State Club for Growth reminds voters that all we have by laws passed can be undone if the liberal judge unseats the sitting judge up for reelection. It is statewide and the fear is the presidential electorate might show up. If so we are toast.

If they stay home blacks turnout may not vote as much as 2012 and we may hold as we did for Judge Prosser. The 50,000 campus zealots who might show up are the problem.

The nondemocratic branch of government has reared its ugly head and govered the last two years on Voter ID, collective bargaining.

One change in judges and bye to collective bargaing limits, Voter ID. The current court declined to take Voter ID and passed it on to the new session that may include the toxic partisan liberal.

An update on this law. Greta Van Sustern from On the Record at FNC nterviewed a Michigan state senator opposed. In rerun this is how I recall the conversation went—

The senator threatened or sounded like she would push legal challenges to the law based on ‘unequal’ opt in and opt out of unions provisions and gender discrimination. This is a line unions use in Wisconsin to some degree with success but not always.

In Michigan Police and fire are exempted but fields with a large numbers of women like nurses and teachers are not, said the state Senator from Michigan. (Whie that sex discriminatiion is blowing hot air by comparison the state Wisconsin did lose a suit when it allowed prosecutors unionized to work more days than other state workers.)

Police and fire, who btw may be a largely male work force, get different choices than nurses and teachers who are mostly females. Some of this line may sound familiar. The unequal protection is derived or overused from 14th amendment due process and equal protection.

D State senator said another complaint she has is that they did not have enough time to talk about it and that it passed in a lame duck session. Greta told the state senator she thought it was good that workers had a choice or Greta approved of the bill’s substance. The Senator said everyone should have time and opportunity to express that opinion in hearings. She would not go on record why she opposed workers making a choice but did admit to opposing strongly the bill passed.

So far this shitf in union status in Michigan is at the TV talk phase as opponents make a point there has not been enough time to have hearings. Thus, political action was premature.
