What does "Right To Work" mean to you?

I don't know because I work at a medicine company that is "non-union". And I live in Michigan where our Governor just signed it into law a couple weeks ago.

    It means right to work for less. It means that corporations have all the power and the employees have none. It means the loss of benefits so the CEOs can get bigger bonuses.

    It's a stupid phrase because everyone has the right to work with or without unions. They just want to call it that to make people afraid of unions. And sadly, the fools believe it.

    I live in Houston. Texas is a "right to work state". I've noticed it really means you get lousy pay and can be fired at any time for any reason.

    Almost 25% of residents live below the poverty line. Oh wait, that's how many don't have insurance.
