Nobody in America cares enough to do a "revolution" over anything. They'd get mad, write some angry comments on the internet, maybe do a protest, then go back to eating McDonalds/watching Honey Boo Boo and will forget about it within a month.

I don't forget.

If only the rest of Kentucky was as wise as you, Bandit. Tongue

So my county swung against McConnell, as you'll notice.

What will happen:
The GOP will gain the Presidency in 2016, so they will pass a national right-to-work legislation after having ended the filibuster rule, and just to make sure this wouldn't be repealed after, they will appoint pro right to work judge to the Supreme Court.

So RIP american unions

How would labor supporters react though? It's hard to see how the "right-to-work" Taliban would go that far without touching off a people's revolution.

If one side pull the rubber band too much, it will violently snap back at a point. I don't expect that to happen before at least 30-50 years, through.

I just can't believe it hasn't happened already. I think it came really close a few years ago.

The situation is not nearly bad enough for that to happen.

It's hard to say what will happen by 2025. The future of unions is so uncertain. Every state could become a right-to-work state or the power of labor could dominate in the coming years. Whatever happens, we needs to make it easier to form unions. Get rid of as many government restrictions on unions, aside from the right-to-work if it is inevitable. From there, we either create a system where the government is responsible through legislation that protects workers or union membership grows.

Hopefully all of them, and public sector unions will have been strangled to death.

Yes, the failure to do so has strangled Chris Christie's presidential campaign. He should have finished then off once and for all.

Are there any states where "right-to-work" is actually popular?

While I'm sure it's popular to prohibit mandatory union membership, I know it's wildly unpopular to require unions to provide services to employees who won't pay fair share fees.

That poll didn't ask about "right-to-work." It asked about closed shop.
