SB teams will be blue state, NFLPA and LunchPailR's blast right to work laws in Indiana - Rachel

The NFLPA is the union representing the quarterbacks, nose tackles, place kickers and other players in the NFL. The union has perviously made some noise about the Indiana Republican's effort to pass "right to work laws" in that State, host of this year's Super Bowl.

Rachel reports on their latest press release which accuses Indiana Republicans of "ramming through" and trying to "destroy" the teamwork that the Indianapolis city employees are using to successfully host the biggest event in American sports.

The show then segues into the LunchPailRepublicans who are "fed up with Republican efforts to end union rights".

This group is a coalition of long-time Republican leaders arguing that supporting labor unions is a Republican priniciple, and so-called "right to work" laws are government interfere with business's rights.



An interesting nine minutes.
