OT: Indiana becomes a Right To Work state

"Indiana's Republican governor Mitch Daniels signed the legislation into law immediately after it was given final approval in the state Senate, making Indiana the first state to adopt such a measure since Oklahoma did so a decade ago."Indiana is now a Right To Work (or "Right To Scab" depending on your point of view) state. in opposition promise demonstrations this week-end during the Indianapolis Super Bowl. There are rumors that the "Occupy" protesters are also planning to make their presence known.For those of us staying at home, NY Mayor Bloomberg's group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, will have a 30-second spot ($3.5 million) on TV during the game.*There may be more excitement off the field than on.---------* Advance information says the ad will focus on private sales at gun shows where background checks do not take place. These sales, however, are completely lawful which sorta confounds the group's interest in "illegal" guns.

The damage done to the states, like Michigan, by companies moving to RtW states instead of putting up with the union nonsense.

Irrelevant. Freedom OF association also includes freedom FROM association. If you had a choice between making twice as much money, or having your constitutional rights violated, which would you pick?

IMHO, modern unions have morphed into political parties. THAT is why I never joined the union where I worked, during the parts of my career where I was eligible to be part of the bargaining unit. Of course, not paying dues, I would never have asked them for services- fair is fair. Didn't seem to bother them- they made me their rep on a couple employment review panels back before that was mechanized, and printed my anti-drug-testing diatribe in their newsletter.
