Dr. Charles Ballard said 42.7% of people polled said they believe the new law will help Michigan's economy while 41% said it will hurt.

Um, no.

Colorado is far less unionized than Michigan is, yet voters there handily rejected a "right-to-work" referendumb.

(Incidentally, did anyone ever make a map of how that referendumb turned out?)

We need to destroy "right-to-work" in every state that has it.

If I start a small business, and if you work for me, you pay union fees. End of story. I don't care what the "right-to-work" laws say.

Just more than a year after union busting, Mr. Scott Walker already won re-election, once.

That was a recall. If that was a regular election, he would have lost.

Also, there were polls in the mid-'70s that showed two-thirds of Americans supported so-called "right-to-work" laws. We KNOW those polls were wrong.

There was no "right-to-work" referendum in Michigan. It was a referendum to assert the desirability of collective bargaining. It lost.

I was talking about the one in Colorado.
