Michigan just passed a "Right to Work" law that appears to be?
Michigan's "Right to Work" law is anti-business. This GOP sponsored law encourages citizens to not pay for services or benefits they receive from unions. Though they claim such a law is not an attack on unions, it is illegal in that state for a citizen to receive a service from any other business and not pay for it. Why is the GOP (1) creating an entitlement for some workers, and (2) Why is the GOP attacking business?

The far-rightwing extremists, including Governor Snyder evidently, believe that by attacking unions they are undermining the Democratic base, but their thiinking is indeed flawed. In our nation's most prosperous times, workers' chosen representatives (unions) brought about liveable wages, excellent health care coverage, safe working conditions, and good retirement plans, which then ensured consumer spending---including the purchase of the products they made---and the corporations made record-level profits.
The way this Michigan "law" is written by these Republican extremists, the workers who do not wish to pay for the Union representatives' services (they supposedly do not have to pay union dues) are supposed to get "equal representation" by the Union leaders...NOT FAIR! If they do not pay for the services of higher wages, good benefits, and other Union-gained perks, there is no reason why the nonpaying freeloaders should receive them. I hope the rightwingers are VOTED OUT OF POWER for good!
