    Right. because we tend to try and spell things correctly, as opposed to seeing how many times we can fit the letters "U" and "Q" into a word.

    Anybody watching what's happening in Michigan? The state passed a "Right to work" law. Unions aren't too pleased.

    It hasn't been good for the state of Michigan or Ohio. Pretty sure the unemployment rates are some of the highest in the nation, people are moving away, companies are closing, crime is up, foreclosures are some of the highest. Not saying it's a result of unions, but they have had teh same policies for a very long time and things just get worse.

    When adjusted for inflation, the majority of jobs in the middle class pay no more than they did 40-50 years ago. Passing laws like that only serve to keep wages down, which may add jabs, but the quality of those jobs are worse. Hence the middle class gets screwed and is broke now.

    I wonder how many Hostess employees would love to have their low quality jobs back.

    RTW is very simple - I am now allowed to work at an employeer and I am not forced to support the union and deomcratic agenda.

    Correct. The unions fear that over time the unions will lose power and influence.

    If the Unions offered such a good value to their members then they wouldnt have to worry about people choosing to opt out!

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Any unbiased source to back these claims?

    Is the majority of the middle class pretty close to average (not the mean)? If so why/how would we expect it to be higher or lower for that matter??
