Michigan House passed one of the bills that would make Michigan a right-to-work state

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - The Michigan House has passed one of the bills that would make Michigan a right-to-work state.

The legislation in question -- only one of two House bills on the issue -- passed 58-52.

Just before the vote, Democrats left the chamber in protest of the Capitol building having been closed most of the day. They demanded the building be reopened. After obtaining a court order, it was. Democrats were allowed back in, at which point the vote proceeded.

The Senate will likely stay in sessio

There is no I in team and no America in New World Order

The NWO is about parity and equal pay for everyone across the board. Obama's Administration is playing both sides of the fence. The fiscal cliff will begin to dismantle the federal unions and pensions and the state shortfalls will do the same to the state and local unions. Obama needed the union vote, but not anymore and he will do his best to bring an end to guaranteed pay raises, lucrative pensions and employee rights to bring about the NWO which is poverty equally distributed to everyone

THE ROMNEY BUILDING?

Teabaggers are pathetic. Corporate tools and marionettes at best.

'Right to work' is a corporate ploy: it means they have the right to At Will Employment and can fire you for no reason, such as right before your raise is due, or when the owners cousin covers your job. They also chose which unions are not affected and that is NOT the equal administration of law our Constitution represents.

It's past time to halt the corporate takeover of America!

Great job Michigan! Get rid of these union goons. Tired of them threatening people, being profane, etc..

[ymp5000]

GOOD! Fuck these union goons.

You mean anti-worker extortion bill. I find it abhorrent that any state would make it legal for a union to demand dues for the right to work any job.
