It only means right to castrate unions. That is all. Hell people work for nothing in non right to work states. It is minimum wage Mr. President!

Not only did one "right to work" employer forbid even any talk about unionizing, they treated us all like crap, reminded us every damn meeting how easily we all could be replaced if we weren't productive enough, turned complaints about faulty, dangerous equipment into "your problem" and remind you that someone else would operate it correctly... cut your hours short whenever possible, dock your pay far beyond any reasonable amount for supposed transgressions of the rules (that no one knows)...
I will stay in a strong union state, thank you very, very much.

This and the statement made to Snyder of years of political warfare if he signs it, are strong words to draw the line in the sand. We don't have to put up with this, no one in the world does, and it's all unnecessary. This stupidity needs to end.
