GOP introduces National Right to Work Law

we knew this was coming and we can be sure the Koch Brothers are behind this.With the GOP controlling both houses of Congress,every Democrat is going to have to fight like hell..but you know there will be those CorporaCrats that will probably support this like they did when they voted against Canadian pharmaceutical drugs..
Knowing there are Democrats that are owned by the Corporate mafia so just to have this on the Legislative agenda is bad new for Unions and labor.

if a state wants to be a right to work state
let them pass it and the governor sign it …

if they don't want it .. tell DC
to leave em alone ..

someway with CCW …

Our "esteemed" governor, Walker met with Trump at the White House to brag about all the "jobs" his Act 10 created.
(In reality he LOST jobs.)

See that? I told you so. My poppa was a miner. He would NEVER votefor a Republican. He knew they were full of shit and only cares about the bottom line.

Sorry you got hoodwinked.

Folks who barely pay attention think it's THEIR right to work being referenced rather than its real meaning, a business's right to allow you to work for them or not.

Its like Trump is following the actions of Hitler from the "Rise of Hitler" books

Maybe those union leaders who sided with Trump during the campaign will realize they tied their future to a snake that just bit them in the ass.
