Michigan workers don't care if House Bill 4454 (Make Michigan a "right to work" state )passes or fails, because unions haven't had any real power in the state of Michigan for years now. This is just one more excuse for corporations to take benefits and compensations from employees, or fire and hire employess for higher profits and avoid any Civil Rights Act or Fair Labor law issues. This is just one more good reason to pack my things,foreclose on my house and move south next year.. because job security no longer exist in this state. Instead of doing something about Michigan's single state recession, high unemployement rate, rising gas prices, higher taxes,and our failing health care system - our government officials are busy developing new ways to put more hard working Michigan workers "out of work", deeper in debt, and on welfare.

"The unions built this state"
And $30 an hour janitors and unskilled laborers will kill it.
"A collective bargaining agreement keeps everybody honest - management and labor."
And also makes the union bosses rich. Don't trust your union goons anymore than you trust the snake oil salesman. They also believe that all workers are equal, anyone with an IQ higher than their shoe size knows that this is malarky.
"And now our corporate pigs with their bitch the Republican Party, are destroying it in record time"
Without thos "corporate pigs" you and all your union buddys would be picking beans for 2 dollars a day.
The union improves nothing, creates nothing, sells nothing and is basically just a parasite that feeds on the productive. Sounds kinda like the government.
"Break the unions and Michigan becomes Mississippi'
Mississippi is what they are because of the lib/dem/socialist so called leaders. Maybe we would become like Florida, North Carolina or any one of a multitude of high flying Free States.
Why are you so afraid of being without a union? Maybe your skill set isn't worth much in the free market?
"Parents of school children want everything supplied for free (education, psych. counseling, character building, Jesus, food, etc.)"
Wrong again bubba. All the parents I know want the government out of our lives so we can educate and raise our kids, not some idiotic village. Give me my tax money back and I won't ask for a thing. Seems you must be talking to all the lib/socialist parents or as they are also know "hippies that never grew up"
