Warren — The mayor of Michigan's third largest city is offering free bumper stickers blasting the state's new right-to-work law.

State officials passed the law, which bans requiring workers to join a union or pay fees comparable to union dues to be employed, last month.

"This law is a slap-in-the-face to union members, their families and union retirees whose gains in the workplace have raised wages and benefits and made the workplace safer, even for non-union employees," Warren Mayor Jim Fouts said in a statement Wednesday. "Our standard of living in Michigan is higher for everyone because of union-won gains at the bargaining table."

Fouts said the stickers were not paid for with taxpayer dollars. He is making them available to anyone who wants one by calling his office at [phone].

1. That's where I grew up; good for Warren!

When we moved there, it had about 5,000 people and was mostly farmland.

Getting old, for sure.

2. Yeah, me too!

In the 10 mile/Mound Rd. area. I remember our big family "Saturday Night Out" was at the Bel-Aire drive in on 8 mile by the Light Guard Armory. Long gone now. A real Blue-Collar town back then!
Good on Jim Fouts! I'll have to get one of those bumper stickers...

3. Near 9 Mile Road and Schoenherr

And certainly remember the Bel-Air Drive-In on Eight Mile Road. Went to Crescentwood Elementary School, then Oakwood Junior High and East Detroit High School.
