A Big Freaking DealBy JGillman, Section News
One of the biggest ethical problems I have with unions, is that the ability to contract for one's own self is not included. While professing insipid profundities like "protecting the little guy" big labor in turn, refuses to allow the little guy who might have more to offer, a chance to capitalize on it. This, in my view hardly protects anyone's ability to seek and find suitable employment based on his or her skills. It cheapens the employment and takes away from the value of the position.
Michigan's Capitol Confidential is now reporting that State Senator John Proos is going to push for Right-to-work zones in Michigan.
Proos, R-St. Joseph, introduced legislation Wednesday that would allow counties and municipalities in Michigan to create right-to-work zones. It is Senate Bill 120. Proos says the bill is on his agenda because the issue is "too important" to wait for Snyder to lead the way. In addition to its sponsor, the bill has eight Republican co-sponsors in the Senate -- already nine of the 19 votes needed to pass the bill in that chamber, assuming that Republican Lt. Gov. Brian Calley would cast a tie-breaking vote. Snyder as mentioned in the article has given prior indication that he would sign this type of legislation, even though it is not on his agenda. For my purposes however, this has other ramifications. If this was to become law, I would push to have Grand Traverse County become the first Right to work zone in the state. Both for attention, and also for other reasons (there are SOME who are unionized here who would appreciate if they were not forced to be)that contribute to efficiency. I DO hope this goes forward fruitfully. Here's to happy unencumbered employees!
