Michigan
has passed a modest labor reform, and the result has been threats and
violence from Democratic elected officials and their union henchmen.
While this is deplorable, it is not surprising: Organized labor’s
business model is mechanically identical to extortion, and it is in the
nature of the extortionist’s trade to resort to violence when
frustrated.
To hear the Democrats tell the tale, you would think
that Governor Rick Snyder and Michigan’s Republican-controlled
legislature had abolished unions. In fact, the legislation merely
prohibits unions from forcing workers to pay dues to them as a condition
of employment, which is why such measures are called “right-to-work
laws.” The law imposes no limitation on unions’ ability to organize, to
engage in collective bargaining, or to strike. It merely forbids them to
take money out of the pockets of workers who do not wish to join them.
