While thousands voted in the Michigan presidential primaries yesterday, more than 3,500 union members and allies monitored polling places statewide for a potential “right to work” for less petition drive on the day of the primary. More than two dozen international unions participated in the statewide mobilization, taking shifts morning, noon and night at 2,000 polling locations across the state.
Now, I have nothing against union folks showing up to polling places. And, I have nothing against their opposing right-to-work legislation. I'm not sure it's a good idea, myself. But, one wonders how they were planning on opposing it if the petition circulators had shown up? If union folks expect to be allowed to leaflet polling places, then they have to expect that everyone else will get the same privilege. Right?
