More Republican anti-union and anti-worker ideology. Is this going to create jobs in Michigan?

 Thank you Mr. Haveman for introducing this bill and thank you to the co-sponsors including my 89th district rep Amanda Price.

Hopefully this bill will move forward with support for repeal from the Senate. 

 It is imperative that this bill pass.  We can no longer afford to allow binding arbitration without any consideration of the ability  of the government unit to pay for the decision.  We are not talking about workers who have been poorly compensated or taken advantage of but a group of individuals who have used all their power to achieve advantage. 

Taxpayers have been paying and government has used every method to take the path of least resistance. Elected officials do not fight as hard as they can for the taxpayers but for the unions who get them elected. Those days are over.

Anti-union is actually pro-worker.  Union workers in Michigan are only about 16.5 percent of total wrokforce, and in decline.  It's no secret that unions in Michigan have been a factor in killing our economy, by driving labor costs up at everyone else's expense.  Eliminating the union effect would bring people, business and jobs back to Michigan - this is pro-worker!

And it's not even a Republican-Democrat thing, it's a socialist-communist-Marxist vs Founding Principles-Freedom debate.  If the unions had to tell the truth and couldn't use brute force on taxpayers, they would disappear.

Gypsy, I think you have been reading too much union, Marxist propaganda.  I suggest you read up on Frederic Bastiat and Milton Friedman.

May I suggest to you MikeCPA, that being for unions and workers is not anti American. Nor is it Marxist, communist, or socialist. Matter of fact, it is American.

Unions didn't kill our economy, tax cuts for the rich, two unfunded wars, an unfunded medicare drug plan, and unregulated banking did. Michigan was helped along that path by incompetent management in the auto industry. Union concessions were inadequate in countering the effects on the auto industry of bad management.

May I suggest your reading list to include some Paul Krugman, and maybe less time spent listening to Glen Beck. That should be easier now.

Or more George Wills and less Michael Moore. 

Human rights are like the Bible of civilization. If we were to be globalized on some aspect of any kind, this should be it. This is the only uniform system that should regather us all under the same set of principles. Once these principles respected, I don`t have any doubt that politics and economy will enhance in efficiency mechanisms. I was once a victim of a law abuse and I have learned a lot of important stuff about human rights from my bankruptcy attorney San Antonio. You would be amazed how many rights we have that we are not aware of yet.

 Here is an article brought to you by your typical Public Union thug boss who likes to rip off the taxpayers.  Brings yet another meaning to the term...........Right to Work State.......which would eliminate this type of fleecing of the taxpayers!
