MICHIGAN EMPLOYERS MAY BE PROTECTED FROM FORCED UNIONZATION

 
More Michigan Jobs
In November 2012 Michigan voters rejected giving unions unconstitutional power.
In December 2012 the Michigan legislature enacted legislation giving employers the right to hire and fire without union representation. Michigan now joint numerous others as a right-to-work state.
Michigan Poised to become right to work state; Protester shouts “hiel Hitler” in response
Townhall – Kate Hicks – 12/7/2012
Michigan is one step closer to becoming a Right to Work state. Last night, both the state House and Senate passed bills that would forbid the public sector unions from taking 2% out of workers’ paychecks for dues payments, regardless of whether or not they’re members. The bills can’t be passed into law until Tuesday, owing to procedural requirements, but they’re almost sure to prevail, at which point Gov. Rick Snyder has vowed to sign them.
The House and Senate each passed bills on the same day they were introduced that give private and public sector workers the right to avoid paying union dues in an organized workplace. Only police officers and firefighters would be exempt.
The package can't reach final completion until at least Tuesday because of procedural rules that require a five-day layover for two of the bills before they can be voted on in the other chamber.
it’s worth remembering that these people are protesting their colleagues’ right to determine whether or not some of their paycheck goes toward union dues. All the while, however, they claim to protest the way this curtails “workers’ rights.” Hmm.
It’s also worth remembering what, exactly this bill does – indeed, it doesn’t affect collective bargaining, and in fact, Gov. Snyder made it clear he’s in favor of preserving that right:
