at Wednesday's 'Walk of Shame' protest. Thanks AFT Michigan
for the photo.
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder is looking to hire a "No Rights At Work" bureaucrat in the Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Department. His or her job will be to come up with propaganda justifying the state's new anti-worker laws.
No, we're not kidding.
We found the job description on Twitter for a "Freedom to Work Specialist." You can see it here. It would be funny if it weren't so disgusting.
One of the tasks of the "FTW Specialist" (a lawyer):
Draft proposed rules, regulations, policies, and guidelines to properly implement and administer FTW laws.
That doesn't sound like freedom to us.
