  1. One of the few things that Michigan has going for it is a lot of experienced auto workers. Unfortunately, when foreign automakers build plants in the US they tend to build them in right to work states. They would rather build their own workforce somewhere else than take advantage of experienced auto workers in MI (or OH). Those non-union jobs are just as desirable as union jobs, despite what the UAW would want you to believe. Maybe, just maybe, Michigan can lure a foreign automakers to build some new plants there by going right to work. The working man ultimately wins.
  2. It doesn't stop anyone from joining a union, but workers can no longer be forced to pay union dues as a condition of employment.
  3. Michigan workers no longer have to pay to join unions http://money.cnn.com/2012/12/11/news/economy/michigan-right-to-work-vote/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 The House approved two bills, which the Senate already passed last week. Both chambers are dominated by Republicans. Gov. Rick Snyder, a Republican, has said he will sign the legislation, which would allow workers at union-represented employers to forgo paying dues. Thousands of people, many of them union workers, gathered outside the statehouse, chanting and holding signs as snow fell.At least three schools were closed as teachers traveled to Lansing to protest. There are 23 states which have right-to-work laws, mostly in the South and western plains states, where union membership is relatively weak. Nationwide, union membership stands at 11.8%.

  13. Football is a rough, tough sport. No one is forcing these guys to play, or to accept the fame, or huge amounts of money. If you think the risk is worth the rewards...then play. If not, go play soccer in France.
