Right To WorkBy JGillman, Section News
If you have ever wanted to be involved, or thought a legislator needed a little nudge, there is no better time than NOW to act.
The failure of proposal 2 in November's election drove home the fact that Michigan is ready to become the 24th Right To work state. The millions in big labor money spent to even further violate the civil rights of Michigan workers was not successful, and brought the issue out into a broader theater of debate. The Freedom to Work organization (disclosure: I am a member) was joined by political heavyweights Dick Devos and Ron Weiser who are now calling for action on this important piece of Michigan's future. "MIRS News reports former Michigan Republican Party chairman Ron Weiser and 2006 GOP gubernatorial nominee Dick DeVos are putting the pressure on in the Senate, where Majority Leader Randy Richardville doesn't want to take it up."Though Richardville does not want it, he is apparently willing to watch it pass through that legislative body, now showing perhaps a couple votes to spare.
And labor leadership is freaking out. Kyle Olson, writes: "Now the union is wringing its hands over a rumored Right to Work proposal that may be introduced and debated in the state legislature during the lame duck session.Indeed.
But we best not consider this a done deal until the guv's pen is to paper. Update [2012-11-30 10:51:19 by JGillman]: As a bonus, here are a couple who REALLY want you to call them and offer support of Freedom to work. (H/T Jack Hoogendyk)
