[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1066113, member: 12508"] RTW means the Right To Work For Less Money. Why else would Republicans push for it? It's "good for business" in the sense that it drives wages down and negates union power. These are both goals of pro-Big Business conservatives. The problem is that instead of creating $20-$30 perhour jobs with true middle class wages, you get $14-$16 per hour jobs that keep people just scraping by, unable to really improve the economy by buying big ticket items like appliances, cars, and homes. There isn't any coincidence that a lot of big manufacturers are moving into low-wage, RTW states because they know that workers will find it very difficult to organize. Add-in the tax incentives and other corporate giveaways, and it's Nirvana for Big Business. This is corporate welfare of the worst kind because each job "created' ends-up costing tens of thousands of dollars. What hypocrisy. Governor Snyder is nothing but a job destroyer financed by Big Business interests who stand to benefit from RTW legislation. [/QUOTE]
