i forget where i read it but one poster pointed out that a union worker making $20 per hour with $2 of that going to union dues is better off then the non-union worker making just $17 (18 vs 17). 10% of their pay goes to the union and which side are they protesting on? are they trying to prove they're subhuman? in ww2 when the japanese took over and island, they would tell the natives, work for us and not only will we spare your lives, we'll pay you. and so they got paid in monopory money and they went to the nip stores and they bought flashlights, hatchets and mirrors at wildly inflated prices. this "co-prosperity" in effect is what the union workers are buying into.

LANSING, Mich. — This just in: Hell freezes over, pigs fly, Jimmy Hoffa rises from the dead, joins labor protests at state capital.

I’m just kidding. We all know pigs can’t fly.

The fact, however, that the Legislature of my home state of Michigan has just voted to become the nation’s 24th right-to-work state is nothing short of preposterous. In a good way, of course.

Framed as “freedom-to-work” legislation, Michigan’s version of right to work is similar to that in other states. It protects workers from forced unionization and will mean employees cannot be fired from their jobs...
