We All Already Had That Right.

       Well, whatta ya think of Michigan's new law creating a Right To Work state? Does anyone think Michigan residents didn't have the right to work previously? Do you believe, as many conservatives believe, that Unions are a relic of the past, no longer needed and a drag on the economy and on bringing jobs to America?
       If you believe the governor and legislature in Michigan did the right thing, then consider this; Almost without exception, whenever unions gave up benefits or lowered wages, the management's income increased and corporate profits increased. The only losers were workers. Whenever unions were forced out of companies, workers wages and benefits either stagnated or decreased and working conditions deteriorated.
       But here's a suggestion for ya. If you want Unions to go the way of the dinosaur that can easily be arranged. And there won't even be a fight from union members. If you want no more unions, just pass this simple law. If workers are asked to give up wage increases or must take wage cuts, then management must do the same based on their ratio to income. If benefits are taken away, so must management's. Part two: Corporate profits must be tied to worker wages and benefits.
       See, what I don't understand is why it has to always be the employees that have to lose. If profits go up, management and ownership is rewarded but workers are asked to give a little more so profits can continue to increase. But if profits go down, workers must compensate the company and management through cuts.
       We kept hearing about class warfare during the recent elections. Well what do they call this? Class peace? If we get the short end of the stick, that's peaceful, but if they have to pay any piper, that's war? It seems that some folks only see the good if it's directed toward them, and they always see the bad if the good isn't directed at them.
