The corporate right to ass rape you law

George Lakoff has a new article on the recently passed Michigan law on unions. He prefers to call it the "corporate servitude law" instead of "right to work." He argues that how we frame it determines how people respond. He lays out the actual rights this law undoes: living wages, equal pay, pensions, negotiation on working conditions, overtime. It does so by defunding unions, who provided all the above rights, as well as weekends off, vacations, family and medical leave. Which is of course the real regressive agenda, to further disempower and ultimately destroy the last vestiges of unions so that they can return to their Fuedal glory of indentured servitude. So I'm going to call it by a yet clearer framing: the corporate right to ass rape you law. And no, that isn't an exaggeration. Instead of getting out the lube I prefer to fight back and defeat these bastards for it is they who must be overcome, not unions.
