Though right to work was initiated by the failure of Issue 2 in Michigan, unions claim the following:
The attacks on workers’ safety and rights continue in Michigan, but we are standing up for working and middle class families.
Tomorrow, supporters from all across the country are going to Lansing to peacefully rally against the trick-titled, so-called right to work law bullied through the Michigan legislature in about seven hours last week without a single hearing and no public input.
We’re going to show Michigan’s out-of-touch extremist lawmakers what Democracy looks like.

The only bipartisan vote was in opposition. Republican lawmakers joined Democrats in Michigan to oppose this attack on workers. Sound familiar? In Ohio, when extreme lawmakers and Gov. John Kasich bullied Senate Bill 5, the unfair, unsafe attack on us all, through the Ohio General Assembly, the only bipartisan vote – Republicans and Democrats – was in opposition.
You can help. Please travel to Lansing if you can and if you cannot, please share this link with your friends, family members, co-workers and neighbors.

Over the weekend, religious leaders came out against the attack on worker rights and safety in Michigan. The CEO of Detroit’s Medical Center came out against the trick-titled, so-called right to work law“because workers in states with these laws have less access to health insurance.”
That’s not all. These anti-worker rights and safety states have higher poverty rates because families earn less and have a harder time making ends meet. Workplace fatalities are 51 percent higher in these anti-worker states. It’s harder to speak up about a workplace safety problem when you have no rights on the job.
Right to work is WRONG for Michigan and it’s WRONG for Ohio.In fact, Frank Beckmann dealt with the facts that states that have right to work have lower unemployment rates and better relationships with employees.
Several callers talked about having worked in right to work states both for union and not; in general, those who experienced right to work jobs felt that employers treated them more fairly and compensated them MORE because of 1) the threat of unionization and 2) the fact that money wasn't sucked into paying union demands.
Tomorrow's protest is set for noon tomorrow; people will be driving in from all over the nation, screaming and misbehaving, undoubtedly paid for by unions.
At $180,000 an hour just for a single plane, Obama flew into Detroit today to explain that right to work is all about politics and not economics.
Cuz this man really knows all about economics, right?
So much so that he has his Labor Department throw around phony unemployment numbers, conveniently omitting all the people who've dropped out of looking for a job. This allows Bob Beckel and MSNBCers to claim the economy is "roaring."
Godfather of the Tea Party movement Santelli riffs about honesty in government:
And some Michigan schools will close because teachers will be protesting tomorrow.
Yeah, that's a great educator for ya.
