Your rep was sent.

 

[buckstopshere]

+1 to Mitch! I was concerned about him when he took office but by and large, he's been a good governor in my opinion.

Does everyone really think they can just walk into a union hall and get a job now? I dont understand. If there is no work than there is no work.

nope, but I can apply for jobs at the State

This was NOT worth all the fuss. MOst Union guys will stay that way. Contracts are still in effect. No jobs will be lost. all the fuss was political, Democrats need the campaing cash that the unions send. If you opt out of the union your dues cannnot be forwarded to the DNC. that is issue pure and simple

I guess the whole mess of union supporters marched through the SB Village after Mitch signed the bill into law. Wonder how many of them were actually from Indiana.

From the FOX 59 page:

"The workers began to march in protest of the bill’s passage. Thousands of protesters marched down Capital Avenue, into Super Bowl Village and straight through Georgia Street.

Among the protesters, some saw this as a visible way to make their point. Others considered it a protest of the Super Bowl itself.

"We're walking through this area because we're pretty sure the NFL players union wouldn't want to play in a state that harbors such laws that are anti-worker,” said protester John Andrews."

I'm so very impressed with the guy carrying the sign that said "Corporate Suck @$$" Yeah, that's the impression the union folk "from Indiana" wants to give a world who is focused on a football game.

Not law yet...

July 1 is generally the start-date for everything signed during the legislative session.

Channel 6 is reporting that union members are planning on trying to shutdown the superbowl. And the teamsters have said they will park trucks aroud the stadium entrances and on freeway on/off ramps

I disagree, IMO it IS a big deal and the way the unions responded proves it.

To All,

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the AFL-CIO the percentage of Union jobs in Indiana is 10.9%, so let's say 11% are Union.

This means that 89% of our jobs are already nonunion.

Is that 11% so important that a Right to Work Law will turn our economy around? Really???

Do not misunderstand me. I have really mixed feeling about the Right to Work. On one hand I don't think a person should be forced to join a Union to get a job, just like I don't think a person should be forced to join a neighborhood code just to buy a home.

That said, I don't like the fact that a union is forced to represent everyone in the shop even if they don't pay for the service.

All that aside I really think that the propaganda surrounding the passage of this law is really blown out of proportion.

11%. Really???

Regards,

Doug

Sure, let's settle for 89% freedom.

What made it so angsty for certain people? Less money to the unions = less money to the Democrats!

This is kind of funny because Arizona (1), Florida (3), Georgia (1), Kansas (1) Louisiana (1), North Carolina (1), Tennessee (1), Texas (2) + Indiana (1) = 37.5% of NFL teams are in RTW states. We only ever hear them complain when they're the ones not getting paid.

I'm surprised that The Reverend Jackson and his rent-a-riot crew haven't shown up yet.

There ya go. Those will really be some ways of "supporting the working man", huh?

Speaking as a FORMER Teamster..... they (the unions) could give a **** about the "working man."

If it were up to me, any vehicles parked in some sort of protest blocking traffic would be bulldozed off the side of the road.
