NTD News: National Right To Work Introduced by U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson (SC)
Mark Mix and Kevin Hogan on NTD News discuss the introduction of the National Right to Work Act in the US House by Congressman Joe Wilson (SC).
Despite the highest unemployment rate in America, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm refuses to support true reform for her state.
Granholm announced she would not upset her political benefactors by supporting Right to Work in the Wolverine State. Confident she could bring jobs to the state because “I’m a really good salesperson . . . ,” instead, she announced a trade mission to Japan. In the same breath she proclaimed support for an income tax hike and a sales tax increase.
Now tell us Gov. Granholm, what business in their right mind would voluntarily move their business and families into this sort of economic environment?
A growing movement for enactment of a Right to Work law has taken hold in the Wolverine State. Both Republicans and Democrats are prepared to make concessions as they move forward with a reform package aimed to bring jobs back. But Granholm will have none of it. A state Right to Work law is a no-cost incentive with demonstrable evidence of success.
And remember, a Right to Work law does nothing more than allow workers themselves to decide whether to join or pay fees to a union. That’s all!
Granholm would be better off selling the true reform of freedom in the workplace to the voters in the state than trying to sell economic snake oil overseas. She would have much better results.

“In an age of legislative overreach, this is one of the shortest bills ever introduced. The National Right to Work Act does not add a single word to federal law. It simply removes language in depression-era law that gives union officials the power to extract dues from non-union workers as a condition of employment.”
A recent poll conducted by SurveyUSA, a national pollster rated “A” by polling aggregation site FiveThirtyEight, reveals Michiganders of all backgrounds strongly oppose overturning the state’s Right to Work law.
