That must be the reason. Well, Tennessee won’t stand for this. Things are about to get nasty.

vengeance bills from these low-lifes.
If you look closely at pictures of the bespectacled Sherman, you can see the puppet strings.

Most of the orange states on the map above don’t seem to have been as severely affected by the current economic malaise as the blue ones.
I am not a trained rocket scientist, but, perhaps there is a lesson buried somewhere in that map.

We don’t want Detroit brought to TX.

that a union lap-dog Democrap could think of introducing this type of federal legislation designed to circumvent the 10th amendment of the Constitution which his is sworn to uphold. Looks like another D>R fip for the house. I’m sure that Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV, speaker of the unions) will find a way to fast track this while excluding legislation to freeze current tax rates for 5 years.

Join the RedState Strike Force

GOP needs to start opening their mouth and sound biting this to hell.

As LUR said, force the Dems to show that they are going to dictate to all workers that they must join the DemComm Socialist Union or they will not be allowed to work……..or exist.

Make the DemComm candidates go on record across the board starting with their plan to force any worker to join the DemComm Socialist Union.

would require all unions to have 4 year jubiliees … meaning every four years require a secret ballot election to see if workers still want the representation. In the event of less than 50% even participating in the election, the default would be to eliminate the union.

I have always wondered how it can be legal to require a person to join a union and pay dues. Has this ever been challenged? It sounds like a violation of basic freedoms to me.

Why else would the socialists keep pushing jobs overseas?

We won’t have any money left tp pay China back.

Maybe they will take our socialists in trade?

I would love to see Barack & Michelle working in a sweat shop over in Bejing for 3 bucks a day.

Get Democrats on the record over this and get those pictures into commercials.

Just doing a quick and dirty spreadsheeting of the most recent state-by-state unemployment figures, I found the right-to-work states have an aggregate unemployment rate of about 9.15%, while the rest of the country has an unemployment rate of nearly 9.9%. And that’s with the worst state, Nevada, falling on the right-to-work side of the numbers.

and the Republicans looking to win the majority of states, this will never happen at the state level. Couple that with the Union Rally in support of the Communists this weekend, the now educated population of how the Unions are bankrupting every state, the fact that Union Workers, at least at the Federal Government level, are paid something like twice what the private sector workers are earning, and, you have a bill that is more than dead. If the Progressives pass this abomination in a lame duck, it will survive about as long as it takes to seat the new Republicans in DC in January. If that doesn’t work, in DC, the majority of Republican states will take care of it, just as they are fighting Ocare, and, the EPA Endangerment Finding, which is about to get worse. This is a no go.

“Right-to-work laws require unions to represent non dues-paying employees”

What prevents an employer and a union from contracting with regard only to the union members, with one or more other contracts for the non-union employees?

Dear Brad Sherman, get the hell away from the rest of the country that has a clue on what a functioning economy looks like. California screwed up on their own, don’t export your misery because the rest of us are not stupid enough to buy your garbage. Texas likes to have jobs, and not be forced to do that slimeball Trumka, who belongs in prison not in front of a microphone, bidding. Go back to the whole you came from, and hopefully your neighbor will move a boulder over it so you don’t ever surface again

This could actually be a separate post, but if Mr. Sherman thinks Right to Work states are his problem, he needs to look at the unions inside his state first:

Watch the latest video at video.foxbusiness.com

The courts will throw it out as overstepping their bounds and trampling on those things left to the states.

If not it’s time for rebooting the federals…

“I do not believe that there should be a right to be treated unfairly or to endure unnecessary restrictions…”

What about the rights of dues paying union members who have seen their dues restricted to Democrat political causes, with no voice in how those funds should be spent. How is that treating union members fairly?

In the state of Massachusetts, there is a ballot initiative which would lower the state sales tax from 6.25% to 3%, after Governor Patrick raised it from 5%. All of the unions, private and government, have just come out against this ballot question. Their members have no say in how their millions will be spent in the next 4 weeks trying to kill this measure.

It will be a close vote, and the last I heard was that the proponents were leading by a few percentage points.

The Detroit auto companies and their unions are poster children for the great successes they’ve had. Why not destroy every industry in this country?

I wonder if this election has any importance?!?

I don’t even know where to start with the rage thing. Good way to cause states to seal the deal on that 10th Amendment thing.

As in …Congress, try to enforce it in Texas.

Who is going to be around to vote this abomination?

with a bill to repeal the NLRA in its entirety. Far from protecting workers’ rights, Unions destroy jobs. Witness The Rust Belt. Wherever the palsied hand of Big Labor touches, first business, then industries followed by communities and those by entire cities wither and die. Unions are a blight on modern society.

Time for Repubs to just stand back, out of the way, and let the endangered Dems take this doofus out behind the woodshed.

Where is this authorized under the U.S. Constitution? Someone please tell me where?

Also, is anyone in the Union states proposing initiatives to change them to right-to-work? The statistics given by commenters above are compelling.

expect civil disobedience from the several Right to Work states whose industry is based on lower aggregate wages (due to lower cost of living) and the lack of significant union interference: pretty much all of the Southern states, Texas, and AZ. Heck, I think you could throw in a sizeable chunck of voters in non-Right to Work states, like AK, CO, and several of the Midwestern states.

between “right to work” states and those where workers are enslaved to the union bosses. You’ll see a huge difference. The South began the last half of the 20th century far behind the north by most economic measures, but gained ground consistently as businesses and skilled labor moved south in search of greater freedom (and warmer winters). The warm winter part doesn’t apply to ND, SD, Wyoming, Idaho or Utah, but even in those places growth rates have generally exceeded the national average as they are friendlier to business.

Admittedly, in some right to work states people are in more serious trouble than others just now. That’s generally the result of the collapse in construction. An economy like that of Las Vegas, which was largely built on growth itself, takes a tremendous hit when the growth stops. That’s why one has to look at the long term and the big picture in order to evaluate the effect of worker freedom properly.

In short, right to work is a big part of the relative success of the red states. That of course is the reason why blue-staters like Sherman want the rest of us to be miserable like MIchigan, California and New York.

I was wondering when this was going to come up.
It has to be stopped now.
I am from Texas-we will not put up with this!!!!!

If non-communists need a reason to vote in Delaware November 2,

Christine O’Donnell will move directly into the Senate to vote during the Socialist Democrat lame duck session. Her vote could not be more appropriate than to win this battle

But Obama owes his thugs a lot.

But this ain’t gonna happen. Makes for nice “fire-em-up” for the left, but this bill will go absolutely nowhere.

And believe me, when I heard about this on the radio I thought first “oh (*&” but then thought, “wait – they don’t have 60 in the Senate. . .”

What is the difference between a labor union and a corporate enterprise?

The labor union promotes based on seniority, the corporate enterprise promotes based on ability. . .

dumb enough to buy this horse hockey?

I know, I know. The (current) House majority in hock to the SEIU and similar members of the thug-ocracy

Government employees already enjoy civil service protection. They can rarely be fired. What do they need unions for?

I would also outlaw civil service protection since so many government workers should be fired, right now. Either because they are paper pushing do nothing incompetents, or the federal agency they work for is unconstitutional.

Either way guaranteed lifetime government employment is a really stupid policy.
