Classic IA Nice

Looks like UpliftingNews is now r/Politics. Interesting, guess it was only a matter of time.

This is huge. Makes me smile. Thank you for sharing this op

It's weird, I always do my patriotic duty of showing up to vote and one of those times gerrymandering was on the ballot

I don't recall there being any marketing or signs in regards to it, it was so unremarkable that I needed to look it up to confirm it was part of the 2018 election, but that was probably the most important vote I've cast so far

This was the BEST story, how sad for her, and then happiness! And isn't that just awesome, they're now inseparable. Great story!

Nice event but how is this uplifting news?

This MUST become a trend now, especially with all of the most famous bands and performing artists !

Maybe they could stand next to each other

“What does right to work mean in Michigan?”

Right-to-work laws have no impact in boosting economic growth: research shows that there is no relationship between right-to-work laws and state unemployment rates, state per capita income, or state job growth.

Right-to-work laws have no significant impact on attracting employers to a particular state; surveys of employers show that “right to work” is a minor or non-existent factor in location decisions, and that higher-wage, hi-tech firms in particular generally prefer free-bargaining states.

Right-to-work laws lower wages—for both union and nonunion workers alike—by an average of $1,500 per year, after accounting for the cost of living in each state. Right-to-work laws also decrease the likelihood that employees get either health insurance or pensions through their jobs—again, for both union and nonunion workers.

By cutting wages, right-to-work laws threaten to undermine job growth by reducing the discretionary income people have to spend in the local retail, real estate, construction, and service industries. Every $1 million in wage cuts translates into an additional six jobs lost in the economy. With 85 percent of Michigan’s economy concentrated in health care, retail, education, and other non-manufacturing industries, widespread wage and benefit cuts could translate into significant negative spillover effects for the state’s economy.

"What does right-to-work mean in Michigan?

Right-to-Work allows workers to opt out of paying dues in union-represented jobs but still receive benefits. 27 states have similar laws, which unions say hurts them financially and makes it harder to organize. Wages grew 12 percent in Michigan since Right-to-Work was adopted, below the rate of inflation."

Victor Victoria?

It gave employers the ability to terminate employment, without cause. “Right to work” did not give rights to workers.

It can be good and bad, the good is that extremists have less appeal than moderate candidates so it's harder for them to get elected to seats in the executive branch (or other state-wide/federal races), the bad news is that when they do get elected, they generally do a lot more damage.

The law didn't "restrict unions".

It gave workers the freedom to choose whether to join the union or not.

Moderate gop politician are being replaced by extremists throughout the state. More bodart and majoring Greene Taylor doesn't sound fun 😭

Awww that’s sweet!

I just lost my Dad recently and this is so accurate. It also brings up old grief as you manage the fresh. Ridiculous and important but also just so difficult.
