@Den 8%? That will definitely make a huge difference. Hopefully the supreme court gets on that.
Yeah I think it's ridiculous from a legal PoV due to _Lochner v. New York_.
However, the SCOTUS has been disregarding _Lochner_ since FDR.
@FLanon I went back and reread the article. It actually cost them about 3.5% of the vote in Wiscons
"In a new study that will soon be released as a National Bureau of Economic Research working paper, James Feigenbaum of Boston University, Alexander Hertel-Fernandez of Columbia, and Vanessa Williamson of the Brookings Institution examined the long-term political consequences of anti-union legislation by comparing counties straddling a state line where one state is right-to-work and another is not. Their findings should strike terror into the hearts of Democratic Party strategists: Right-to-work laws decreased Democratic presidential vote share by 3.5 percent."
So Trump's win in WI can be attributed partially to right to work. That is definitely interesting.
And I think it will reduce Democrat share even farther in my opinion. Just because the law is realarively knew in Wisconsin
Oh I guess Nevada is right to work already. Never mind
In the turquoise are the right to work states.
This has the potential to flip the entire northeast.
Ohio and PA could become solidly red, NH and ME moreso, and a ton of other states will become more purple.
I feel pretty good about Pennsylvania being a red state in the future. It's just one more thing we have working in our favor there
Connecticut, Delaware, Rhode Island maybe (probably not though cuz college town)
@Den Yeah, from the amish vote to right to work, PA shows all the signs of leaning more red.
Not to mention Minnesota, of course.
It looks like the Wisconsin Law is only 3 years old. (March 2015) I'm sure not everyone who is paying union dues stopped right away. I bet you won't see the whole effect until 2020
In Wiscons
If SCOTUS makes Right To Work National this summer it would have a huge impact on 2020
Maybe add Massachusetts to that mix if the effect is extreme enough
You know we wouldn't have lost that Senate Seat in New Hampshire if we had National Right to work (Even with the Fraud) and Tester wouldn't have a chance in Montana
Definitely. When do you think (not hope) the Scotus will get on this?
It's supposed to be this year. I think I heard this Summer but not sure
In fact I think they may have already had the hearings about it. Ot at least some of them
Is there any chance that this will have some effect on the midterm elections in that case? Perhaps Tester may weaken?
It could. We have a union where I work: The people who brought it in don't work there anymore. I think they would be part of the union at first and then slowly drift away. You know what I mean? Like how people are. They would wait for others to do it and see if everything ended up OK.
Also I work for a manufacturing company and our main customer is coal mining equipment. We had huge layoffs in 2016 because of Obama and Democrats. They all voted Trump for President but many of them still voted Dem down ballet because the Union told them to.
Yeah, I remember I was on a plane about a year ago and a couple of passangers in front of me, both middle aged white women, were discussing politics a bit, one of them worked in a union family all her life and voted for Clinton because that's what you do when you're in a union.
They are ducked when this goes through. They say it will all hang on Goersich.
I mean, I don't think you should coerce people to join a union, that's kills a lot of business, you want business to come back to the right spots, then you can't force companies to deal with these laws.
The working class once unions become irrelevant will fall back more on social conservatism and economic nationalism.
We can hope. After having to work with Unions for the last few years I can't see any value in then
they served their purpose a long time ago now its just a racket and/or a way for guys to get away with jerking off for half of their workday
so they can sit around and watch TV and collect overtime
@Den The Reason why Vegas & Reno were blue was due to illegals voting. Ugh 👿
@Deleted User I seen an article a few months ago where it said it looked like ICE was changing their strategy more to target "Interior Area" was the word they used. The article was about a huge bust in Colorado. IFE needs to target the Swing States with lots of illegals hard. They should focus on Nevada, Colorado, Florida, North Carolina and Virginia until 2020. Remove those illegal voters
@Den Yup. I will try to coordinate w/ my local UNLV Republicans.
Despite being Fascist I am willing to work w/ Republicans. I think they are a good way to keep people like me from being arrested for "wrongthink".
