Michigan’s Lieutenant Governor Justifies Anti-Union Law By Comparing It To Tithing At Church

1. I so hate this right-to-scab law

People will want the protections of the union and the wages the union fought for, but many of them won't want to pay for the work to get those protections and wages.

And then they'll be surprised when wages go WAY down - more than the cost of the union dues, by the way.

and there will not be enough money to fund union activities which will end the unions.
Unions are one of the only supporters of all workers rights not just those of it's members.
