Michigan to return to the highest unemployment in the Country

[zelmo1234]

Michigan has been in a bit of an ecnomic recovery for the last decade, we have been able to bring some factories, call centers, and shipping here because of the reform of our once draconian Union Labor Laws.

But Strechin Gretchen and the Demos in the House and Senate are going to return us to the days of yester year when all of the manufacturing could not wait to get out of MI in the 90's we had billboards that said " will the last one out of MI please turn off the lights"

So this will likely happen next week, despite the promise from several manufacturers to relocate ASAP To the tune of about 7500 jobs over the next 2 years.

"Fresh off their narrow election victories in November, Democratic majorities in the state legislature have joined with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to repeal the state’s decade-old right-to-work law, which ensures that no worker can be fired if they decide not to join a union. The House passed the repeal March 8, and the Senate followed suit this week, and Whitmer appears ready to send right-to-work to oblivion. This about-face, which is deeply unpopular with voters, will reverse Michigan’s hard-won economic progress."

Elections have consequences, and this will hurt my companies as well as we build home for these Business owners and Executives.

MI will no longer be a place where you can manufacture things and be competitive. YEAH! Democrats!

I'm not even sure why they assemble cars in Michigan anymore.

I feel for you but don't look at it as permanent. It can--and very likely will--be reversed. Get involved with groups and get a ballot measure.

Unions have been dying out for decades, and yes, they've gotten some of their people in office now in MI but things change.

If a majority of voters in MI do not want a closed shop state--they'll get rid of it.

If you keep electing garbage you will end up living in a dump. You have to vote out failure even if it means voting for the other the other party.

Not if single issue voters like you have anything to say about it.

Wherever you see an economic rebound Democrats will find a way to throw a wrench into the works. They are an anti-prosperity party no doubt about it.

Prosperity is so white privilege.

Prosperity is so white privilege.

Along with pantries and water.

If they get a ballot initiative, there will be no need for single-issue voting. But, if MI voters want to overturn the new law and they can't get a ballot initiative, they'll have to resort to single issue voting if being a right-to-work state means that much to them.

Here's why a ballot initiative would change things...

MIDLAND, Mich. — Michigan voters support the state’s right-to-work law by a 2-to-1 margin, a new statewide poll finds. Overall, 58% of voters support the law, while only 29% oppose it. Right-to-work laws make it illegal to require workers to pay dues or fees to labor unions in order to work, even if a person works in a unionized shop and under a collective bargaining agreement. Michigan passed a right-to-work law in 2012 but unions have made it a priority for the incoming legislature to repeal the law.

You're probably a single-issue voter yourself in some cases. I doubt you'd vote for a candidate who wanted to end your 2nd Amendment rights--even if he was a conservative that agreed with your other positions.

No one should ever go along to get along. Don't ever sell out your true beliefs.

We all remember the strong arming of the UAW in Michigan and what happened to the Auto industry that made Detroit on of America's largest and wealthiest cities. Then we all remember how the UAW turned it into slums and unemployment. The money ran out of state.
