B jones, look at the housing prices in Arkansas compared to California. If you want a right to work,no benefits,no safety laws,child labor slave work weeks and little pay, then lets start with the greedy fat pig banks and corporations with their high prices and crooked dealings in California. What public sector union problem do we have B jones? Ok, waiting for your idiotic response!

Companies are moving out of California by the droves due to high taxes, over regulation, and horrible energy prices. Add the public sector union problems to that and it is understandable why we are known as the Venezuela of North America. Becoming a right-to-work state would be a step in the right direction. Look what it has done for Arkansas and other right to work states.

I had Economics, Dys. People who belong to Unions make more than people who don’t belong to unions–pretty simple

john seiler says,
Republicans usually come from business backgrounds and like to make “deals,”
Just go directly at the unions by enacting right-to-work laws.
==================================
Ya,evil and crooked backdoor deals with scumbags like the koch bros! There are some basic economic facts that should inform any thoughtful discussion of Right to Work legislation. Workers, union or nonunion, make an average of $1,500 less per year in Right to Work states. They are also less likely to have pension or health care benefits!! Right to work would set all Michigan workers back in terms of wages, benefits and safety on the job!! Just how the right wing pigs like it!! These “Right-to-Work” laws just try to thwart the rise of a labor movement that promoted civil rights, women’s rights and economic justice!! Billionaires Charles and David Koch LOVE to fund anti-labor initiatives like these…………

Douglas says:
If the union companies were NOT there, what do you think would happen to the average pay in the community?
=================================
GREAT point doug!!! I’ll tell you what would happen, the companies and corp’s would gang rape the workers!! They would love nothing more than to have child labor,sweatshops,and pay a penny per hour!! Heck, many of them already use the sweatshops and child labor factories in bangkok and elsewhere!!!! If you can work for a unionized company then GO FOR IT, or the next best thing is find a job in a union strong state or area. Public or private union!!!!!

I saw that as a kid in Illinois, SeeSaw. several industries, including Zenith, before they moved to Mexico, came to our town because we had the magic ingredient: water.

The non-union companies paid wages and benefits similar to, or better than, the union companies.

Two reasons: they HAD to, to compete for workers.

And; they kept their wages higher to avoid workers trying to organize. Why organize if you can get the same wages with NO union dues?

If the union companies were NOT there, what do you think would happen to the average pay in the community?

Right to work also means you do get paid “decent wages” to work in the states discussed. We are talking about jobs, with benefits, paid time off, but not jobs with cushy retirment(but more than likely company matched 401K). Suck it up, cut back on the cable tv, eating out, etc…Invest in housing you can afford. Save, save, save for the future. Good advice in all times.
See saw, you said Unions make more than those not in. thank-you, that is a fundamental problem with unionized gov t workers, overpaid comparable to the private sector.
