   How The Republicans Have Made The Left-Winger DemoCRETIN Union Thug   
   Losers Eat A Tasty Bowl Of Shit - Right-To-Work States Gain More   
   Ground   
   The Lowell Massachusetts Sun: Indiana, Wisconsin and now Michigan were   
   once considered ironclad pro-union states. But last year, Indiana and   
   Wisconsin passed pro-business laws to give workers a choice as to   
   whether they want to join a union or not. And on Tuesday, Republican   
   Gov. Richard Snyder signed two laws making Michigan the nation's 24th   
   right-to-work state.   
   Right-to-work laws are gaining ground because workers want a voice in   
   how management runs things. Plus, they want to keep more of their hard-   
   earned wages in their pockets, rather than having union dues extracted   
   from paychecks to fund the salaries and pensions of fat-cat union   
   bosses who ignore membership's input.   
   While union bosses and activists view the right-to-work trend as a war   
   on labor, workers should view it as an opportunity to attract jobs and   
   spread prosperity.   
   Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan -- and Massachusetts too -- have lost   
   their fair share of union jobs, mostly in manufacturing, to low-cost,   
   right-to-work states and overseas operations. Some menial jobs will   
   never come back. But present and future jobs that demand an educated   
   workforce with strong technical skills are up for grabs as   
   manufacturing begins to make a resurgence in the U.S. States that   
   offer a level-playing field to decision-makers will win back business   
   -- and jobs -- for workers.   
   If unions just concentrated on cooperating with management to improve   
   the performance of workers, they'd probably be able to reverse the   
   downward membership trend across the U.S. Union leaders have grown   
   more political, however. They've put workers' interests behind their   
   own, which is to ingratiate themselves to Democrat candidates and   
   liberal campaigns, wasting billions of dollars of membership dues in   
   the process.   
   In Indiana, when public-sector union workers won the freedom to decide   
   for themselves on paying union dues or not, 95 percent elected to keep   
   the money in their paychecks.
