Two of the four questions Snyder took after speaking Friday, Jan. 25, at a luncheon in Amway Grand Plaza Hotel dealt with the controversial bill that the Republican-led state Legislature passed in lame-duck session last month. The gist of his responses: Michiganders aren’t going to be working union jobs anyway, so stop making right to work a divisive, political issue.
“Over 90 percent of the jobs that you’re looking at aren’t going to be in a situation where right to work is even relevant," Snyder said in the hotel’s Ambassador Ballroom.

isn't it great to know that the law republicans rammed through with minimal discussion only affects 10% of the workforce population? even though they claimed they needed the law to compete on a national level with other states, and that it would help the state economy, the governor and other republicans finally admit that it really only affects a small minority of jobs in the state. if that's the case, why did it need to be passed? you typically don't pass laws to deal with something that only affects 10% of the population so adversely unless it's a matter of public safety and/or protection. neither of which are applicable in this case, as far as i can tell.

The Civil Rights laws of the 50s & 60s only affected 10% of the population. Why did we need them?
