Right -to-work state is a state in which union membership cannot be required as a condition of employment.

There are always three sides to every story.

To the unions - this means employees can receive the wages and benefits negotiated by the union without paying union dues. They must be represented (although perhaps not vigorously ) by the union in any dispute with management without paying union dues.

For employees - they do not have to pay union dues if they do not want to or do not believe in unions.

To the Company - it is a very useful wedge between employees.

It can make for stressful relations - employees who pay union dues vs. those who do not.

Disclaimer - much of my career has been fighting against unions. I do not take a position on this issue. Just the facts.

Facepalm!

Would someone explain to me again how the Canadian oil pipeline would reduce our dependency on foreign oil?

I think we should invade Canada, depose Hunter and use some of that good old "merican blood" for oil......


It's way closer to home and think of all the money we'll save.

Had to laugh at the story about the SC justice being robbed by a machete wielding man.

I thought "oh, crap! That is crazy story, must have happened in DC...."

No, the moron was robbed at his vacay home - that's what he gets for not buying American.
