Therefore, if you're tired of poking, groping would be acceptable.

In case anyone would like to bypass the snide of the first article posted.

Personally, I think people should have the choice of whether or not they want to join the union.

I agree. - ZvilleMT

That's one of the reasons I left teaching - the union in our district was terrible, but if I wanted a job, I had to join.

Right to work gives people a choice - what's so bad about that?

What's bad about right-to-work laws - mbmt

This is how I understand right-to-work laws. In a right-to-work state you do not have to join the union if your work place has a union, and you receive all the same benefits as a dues-paying member does without having to pay the monthly dues. The union still has to represent union members and non-union members, so I think that it really is not fair to those who pay dues. I also think these laws are passed to weaken unions, and thus employers can get away with paying lower wages and no benefits.

Here's a Democrat who agrees with you 100%. - sm

I used to work for a steel company who was the source of employment for EVERYONE in my town. There were salaried positions and union positions. We tried to start a union for the salaried people but were threatened they'd lose their jobs if they succeeded.

Today, my daughter works at a grocery chain, is not only a member of the union BUT she's also the steward for the union in her store. All this, and she's only been there a little over a year, so I'm very proud of her.

I DO like the idea of leaving an open choice to the employee to either join or not join. If it were me, I'd choose to join, which is what she did, because I think all the hard work the unions do for their workers, they're definitely providing help to these workers.

I also think if a person simply does NOT want to join a union shouldn't be forced to.

Freedom to choose union or not - sm

I am all for more individual freedoms. The ostensible purpose for this legislation was that a person should have the freedom to choose whether or not to join a union; however, I believe the real reason was to decrease union membership, which will take away financial support and hurt unions' strength in collective bargaining. Please remember that where the money is, therein lies the power. We already have an imbalance of power between big business and labor in this country. I don't want to give corporate America any more power.

It has also been said that this legislation will pave the way for more jobs in Michigan. That may be true, but jobs at what pay rate and under what conditions? People need to remember (or learn for the first time) what unions have done for working people in this country in terms of prevailing/living wages, working conditions, etc. Higher employment sounds great, but there were also LOTS of jobs in those garment factories in the early 20th century.
