Universities who were already in contract talks before RTW are being threatened that if they settle before the 28th they will lose funding. Read below. Things are out of control in Michigan.

The article states that the legislature is threatening penalties to the university of they settle, even though some promises were made and TA'd before the law was even passed. Al Pscholka, tea party candidate and Whirlpool stooge has a comment at the end.

Governor Rick Snyder has very strong ties with them via donors (a stealth "tea party" candidate). Union-busting, privatisation, complete take-over of government and infrastructure, including $400+ million of debt to Wall Street...this is a smash-and-grab, nothing more. And being successful, they will spread it.

The country has been made ripe for this via $6 trillion in debt via Bush's wars. Remember how his brother Neal crashed a savings and loan?
