    a good strong ...fair and honest union is really a good thing for the worker,usally a union worker earns more money per hour then the non union worker and has a better benefit package, all thing's concidred working union is a good deal,it has it's ups and downs but in the end your better off.

    I'm interested to see what effect this will have on the construction trades. Let's say a general contractor is tied to the unions. If it's right to work, then they can hire non-union people too?

    no usally a compony signs a contract with a union but that contractor can hire non union subcontractors.. the carpenters may be union but the plummers and concrete workers may be non union, then there is the open shop deal where a plant may have gone non union and no longer hire union workers but still retain the union workers thay already have it's a way of phasing out the union workers and their union contract which could take years or just go non union all together and re-hire the union workers into non union status if the worker is willing to take that job in a non union capisity.

    Indiana is now officially a Right-to-Work state. Governor Daniels signed the bill this afternoon.

    There are three outcomes that I'm waiting to see as result the new bill:

    1) If this a political move that is against the will of the people, will the democrats take back over in the next election (based on what I know and see, this is unlikely)

    2) Will this bring more businesses to Indiana or will wages fall?

    3) Will Unions step up their services to the worker now that the workers are not forced to pay them?

    that is very interesting. I hope #3 comes true. It is a pretty good litmus test for the sustainability of unions. If they truly offer protections they should not have a problem.

    There are 2 issues for me here.

    1. I despise Unions. I think the only thing they do is speed up sending jobs overseas.
    2. I despise the government telling businesses what they can and can't do. If people want to work there, they will. If they don't, they won't.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.
