"A Reverse Wisconsin."

"In Michigan, unions try to enshrine union power in the constitution."

ADDED: Excerpt:

The proposed amendment text would make the "rights" to organize and bargain collectively a constitutional guarantee, and any state law that would "abridge, impair or limit" collective bargaining would be repealed. Last Monday, the Michigan court of appeals ruled that the measure could appear on the ballot, and the state Supreme Court heard arguments on the case Thursday....

The ballot measure is being pushed by a Who's Who of national unions, including the Teamsters, United Auto Workers and the American Federation of Teachers. Collective bargaining is already legal in Michigan, but the union goal is to block reforms of the kind that passed last year in Wisconsin. Taxpayers would be put at a permanent political disadvantage, regardless of future economic conditions.
