Right-to-work-for-less laws cost workers & families $1,500/yr in wages. #SaveMI
I stand with working families of Michigan fighting right-to-work-for-less legislation today. #saveMI
Supreme Court hearing 2 cases on marriage equality. Hope they affirm marriage equality as a constitutional right.

@keithellison @seekerwisdom8 Union states also send in more taxes that are then used to subsidize RTW states.
true! “@HyltonHylton123: @keithellison And let's not forget; Right to Work States hurt all workers; not just about Unions!”

‘Right to work': law to rob us of our civil rights and job rights. ~ MLKJr
“In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, such as ‘right to work.’ ~ MLKJr
I predict ppl of MI will rise up and throw out the pols who are inflicting this right to work for less law on ppl. Don't mourn; organize.
Only 2.9% of union workers are uninsured, compared with 14.2 percent of nonunion workers.
According to BLS stats, rate of workplace deaths is 52.9% higher in states with Right-to-Work laws.
I stand corrected: On average, workers in Right-to-Work states earn $5,538/year less than workers in states without these laws.
Average income in right-to-work states is $1500 lower than states where workers can organize a union.
Truly disgusted and alarmed by MI GOP move to inflict right to work for less on workers. Tune in ppl.
