 proposal 2 more unionbased insanity we have six proposals to vote on this year there are several doozies including proposal 2 there are four provisions and i ll discuss three of them to see the full text you can view it on the state of michigan s site  grant public and private employees the constitutional right to organize and bargain collectively through labor unions ok just that text gives me the willies including unions anywhere near the constitution seems like a bad idea but let s move on invalidate existing or future state or local laws that limit the ability to join unions and bargain collectively and to negotiate and enforce collective bargaining agreements including employees rsquo financial support of their labor unions laws may be enacted to prohibit public employees from striking how do you like that one invalidate future laws that unions don t like it s the legal version of thugs giving you an offer that you can t refuse maybe we could get a similar law for taxes future legislators can t tax legally steal more of our money to redistribute to others override state laws that regulate hours and conditions of employment to the extent that those laws conflict with collective bargaining agreements so let s discuss conditions of employment which are rules that employees must follow in order to keep their job for instance if a condition of employment is that a teacher can t come to work drunk then that would be repealed the mackinac center brings up this interesting and sickening case teachers are able to come to school drunk up to five times before they can be fired it lets them teach while high on drugs up the three times before dismissal the contract states that the first offense of a misdemeanor sale of tobacco alcohol or illegal drugs results in three day unpaid suspension and mandatory counseling it is only after the second violation that the teacher could be fired now that is a contract between the teachers union and the bay city public schools system right now teachers can come to work drunk multiple times they can sell drugs and not be fired i don t want to generalize but i m going to but anyone who doesn t see a problem with that has some serious reality issue and i m not just talking about joe biden the detroit free press says the above the contract is currently unenforceable because of existing state law but such a state law would be invalidated by proposal 2 giving free rein for unions to pass absolutely crazy contracts like the one bay city public schools system and remember  future laws aren t the only ones affected by proposal 2 attorney general bill schuette listed 170 different laws that would be altered or overridden by the amendment the lawyer for proposal 2 andrew nickelhoff didn rsquo t contradict him telling reporters ldquo we can guess at how protect our jobs might affect existing legislation and we could spend all day doing that but in the end it rsquo s just going to have to be decided in the courts on a casebycase basis rdquo 170 existing laws overidden because of the desires of a destructive special interest group pouring millions of dollars from across the country in their attempt to seize some of their former glory unions are taking serious swipes against common sense with proposal 2 along with encouraging thievery with proposal 4 let s hope common sense prevails and both of those unionbacked proposals are defeated
