So literally just after they voted to repeal right to work , MI Democrats are now planning to have the government pay money to unions .


Utterly ridiculous

What a great idea.

This is what governing is. It's not regulating drag shows and reproductive rights, it's about doing things that actually benefit working people. This is what being a working class party is.

One of my concerns for repealing right to work was that poorer workers living paycheck to paycheck might be hit hard. This remedies the situation.

Makes sense that if this happened for the first time anywhere, it would be in Michigan.

Using taxpayer money to pay of union bosses is the opposite of good governing . It’s literally the epitome of governing for special interests

Union members receive benefits that are helpful to them and their families. Those benefits are where dues money goes to.

All of that sounds great to me.

[Don't Be A Carrot Vote For Garrett]

Based.

Based based based.

[Anti-Penguin Tariff Voter]

This is so incredibly, ridiculously, unfathomably based the likes of which I thought was impossible in modern American politics.

[Epaminondas]

Excellent governing, despite what our resident jungle anarchists believe.

ABSOLUTELY F[INKS]ING BASED!

LOL OSR you really aren't doing a good job turning us against the Michigan Dems.

I actually support unionizing companies like Walmart and Amazon. What I don't support is using taxpayer money to enrich the pockets of union leadership and then into campaign coffers of liberal politicians.

Right, but they're harmful to all of the other people in the state, which is most of them. (They're even harmful to union members in other industries, for that matter).

Maybe if Republicans didn't do such a crappy job and trying to represent the working class other than trying to convince them illegal immigrants stealing their jobs, maybe those Union endorsements wouldn't go for democrats?

And kindly wean yourself off whatever Mommy and Daddy or the Wall Street Journal op-ed page tells you about union leaders lining their pockets with member dues. The days of Jimmy Hoffa are long gone. I'm not going to say there's not a single union representative out of the millions out there who isn't putting g their hand in the till? but it's a damn sight less than the non-stop pilfering we see from corporations.  Besides, something you and other right-wing twits who parrot that whole Union Thugs and bigwigs crap line seem to forget is that union membership is democratically elected, one person one vote, unlike corporations where Whoever has the most money makes the rules and decides what one can and cannot get away with. You know, the good old Republican way . I assume on that basis you post tax cuts for corporations, beep boop?

Your definition of so-called special interest groups which you oppose tax cuts to support are merely organizations that don't support what you believe in. Such hypocritical myopia is ridiculous.

No? First off, higher union wages mean higher non employee union wages. I realize that higher wages for the working plebs is something that offends you to your core, but the rest of us see that is the basis of a strong economy rather than hoping multi-millionaires by a second home to throw a few construction jobs at the middle class.

Likewise, having say for workplaces makes for a safer and more healthy workforce. People being laid up in the hospital or on disability to not improve anyone's bottom line.

Saying that unions harm the rest of the economy is just silly as hell. Downright libertarian in mentality, but I repeat myself.

Why do you always assume the worst in others you disagree with?

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

I'm a dues-paying union member and I think this goes too far. It's one of the more misguided pieces of legislation I've seen in some time. This would mostly encourage trade unions to ratchet-up union dues and this would hold even if there was a cap on refundability of the credit. Given that trade unions have a great deal of popular support and members of unions are quite content to pay union dues, I'm not sure what the purpose of this legislation is.
