Everything's written in Spanish but English is spoken, in Honduras?

J/k!

Yeah, I live in Michigan, I'm a union member, and I'm torn between my fears of what the legislation will do to the middle class here versus the freedom it gives me to pay dues to a good union and not pay dues to a bad union.

I love the union local I'm in currently! Very effective! When this law goes into effect, I'm not freeloading and the guys I work with won't either. But I've been in other shops where the union is CRAP and you're paying dues for . . . WHAT? Might as well not pay dues at all, until that union local gets its shit together. So, I do see an upside to this law.

But, I guess I lean mostly toward my fears that, overall, business will somehow use this to run rampant over us.
