Right-to-work fines put on hold by Ind. high court

To Bill,Tommy,Capa760,Baddad and TO-Many of the benefits currently enjoyed in non-union "shops" came about because employers did not want employees organizing,which would limit managements ability to treat their workers any way they want(see right to work states).The eight hour day and forty hour week are just two of the reforms attributable to union pressure.Think I'm kidding?Look up and see what working conditions were like 120 years ago!

Thank goodness we have 23 states in favor of American workers and economic growth! Unions have had a stranglehold on the workplace for way too long. Unions had a place back in the 1800's but are no longer a viable addition to the US economy or those looking for employment.

After reading 99% of these comments a quote comes to mind. This from the man considered the father of our Constitution! "Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives" So to all who think unions give money to the mob or don't benefit every worker in this country i suggest you actually do some research on the issue, and by research i don't mean talking with people who know less than you do at your local watering hole. You might even try using your computer to do it. That way you might see just why the repubs are so anti union. If you can pay your employees less than management can make more. I might also suggest you start watching C-Span to get your information on just how is doing what and how they are screwing this country and its middle class. You can't make a formed decision on anything if you only get your information from one source, especially a biased source like oh say fox or msnbc!

40 % of all union members vote conservative, yet 90% of their forced union dues go to liberals, the unions are so involved with organized crime it is pathetic

I belonged to a union for the last 35 years that I worked. They have both positive and negative problems. I do believe that for a company to be unionized that there should be at lest a 70% approval of all workers involed.

I left the UAW in 1973 to become a licensed builder ..I have qouted many jobs for union members since.. I have never once had a union member request that I use union tradesmen on their Job.. In fact just the opposite, they could care less weather the sheetrocker, carpenter, painter etc. have any benefits, or a 40 hr week etc,, The standard was to want the job as cheaply as they could get it done.. If you are going to push your Union, you better start hiring union, and buying union made goods. Otherwise don't preach to me about creating the middle class, when all you have done is manage to over price your own wages.

There are no reasons to have unions now, later or in this recession. Every dime belongs to the earner, as I earned it. There should not be any redistribution of wealth in America, by any President or like follower. You work for what you get, whether it is with one job, two jobs or creating your own business. There are many people, deaf, blind, paralyzed, low IQ and high IQ who have the code of ethics of not being lazy or excused from working and being paid for their efforts. Stealing for a living, will hopefully, end with you being escorted sent into a paid stay at the local penitentary until you learn the rules of humanity.

Right to work = right to be fired for any reason or none at all

I hate unions.

Union dues should not be supporting the bosses' organized criminal operations, including buying favors in the high places.

If it weren't for unions you would be working with your parents and your children; all for pennies a day.

ditto on hateing unions communist run

Learned long ago those who critize unions, never belonged to one so propaganda is easy to pass off onto them as facts. but they are not, heres A fact for those who say unions are crooked in all these states the Koch brothers backed these non union bills hmm gee why.
Union memebers and average American workers have enjoyed A whooping 16% raise in the last 30 years while the Koch bros and the wealthiests 1% have gotten A measley 275% raise in they`re income hmm.
Keep dreaming the that GOP is out to help you and when you wake and realize your getting screwed enjoy it you asked for it why fight for your own rights you dont deserve them.

Right to work is no more than shut up and take whatever we give you what A farce unions workers are not rich and I have never met one that is but I have met quite A few employers who would just pay you the lowest wage they can get away with these Republicans have been attacting the unions for over 40 years.
They claim the American workers are not competive thats A lie, did the price of your Asian car come down? they are not union, how about your washer, and dryer Whirllpool was`nt union and they moved to Mexico same with alot of other companies who moved to China
where the average pay per year is 5000 dollars.
But these radical Republicans want us to beleive its the unions that are the problem thats crap and myths vote these creeps out and never listen to them again Arozonia is A right to work state too and have one of the largest unemployment and foreclousre rates in the country and thats A fact.

Wow... Go Yahoo for pulling this article after only a dozen comments. Get a call from Hoffa or something?

Like $1000 a day is a fine. The unions that these Deceptocrats are protecting will just throw them a fundraiser at $1000 a head and completely fund their next election runs. The bill they were boycotting wasn't even about collective bargaining rights. It was against union dues forced on workers. Union thuggery is no different now than it was 50 years ago.

Who in their right mind would oppose a law that gives people the right to work? I just don't understand democrats.
