Mr. Blunt and Cranky has noticed an increased amount of government meddling in the private sector over the past few years: legislation that voids contracts, creates burdensome obstacles to business and labor, and generally makes it harder for we schmucks to make a buck. Today’s example:
Michigan’s Right-To –Work Law, in which the government takes it upon itself to trash, void and re-write contracts to which they are not signatories.Mark this well, my friends – private industries and their workforces negotiated and signed contracts that made good business sense. And now some yahoo legislators want to shred those agreements without the consent of the parties involved. Much money will be lost by the companies, their workers, suppliers, and consumers as a result of this un-asked for governmental power grab.
Note that, contrary to the usual media-produced stereotypes, the meddlesome bureaucrats in this case are “Republicans”. In a perversion of the free-market principles on which they used to base their principles, they are using government influence to rig the markets in favor of those who give them cash. And to Hell with the private sector and their legal rights.
Yes, there is government interference in the free market. But it isn’t always where you expect to find it.

The law signed today does nothing to void any contract agreed to by any business or the government.
If you were concerned about government meddling in the private sector, you wouldn’t be a supporter of the ACA
Unions have contracts with employers. This law fundamentally alters the relationship between unions and employers, and mandates changes that directly impact the contracts involved.
How? All it does is allow people to opt out of the union. Why should people be forced to join a union as a condition of employment?
Nothing changes between the company and the employer. The contract stands, wages and benefits remain as they were.
“Nothing changes between the company and the employer”? If you can’t even identify the parties correctly, you shouldn’t be pretending to have knowledge on a topic.
We’re going to nitpick now? The Union and the Employer.
Now, what changes by allowing employees to opt out of Union Membership and still keep their jobs?
Contracts are all about details, youngster. Grow up and do some reading on labor law.
