AlterNet reports:

Illinois governor Bruce Rauner watched his anti-union bill called, "Right-To-Work", die a swift, cruel death in the House [May 14]. [...] The the tally [PDF] was 0 yes votes, 72 no votes, and 37 voting present.

Fun with math: The Illinois House has 118 members.

A handful of Republicans went for a walk during the vote, not publicly falling on one side or another.

    When American workers are overpaid thanks to unionization

    FTFY

    Unions killed most other industry in the US, too.

    How that this didn't happen in other sides of the world?M
    Ah, yes, another evidence of American exceptionalism. No, of course not, the American corporate executives had nothing to do with their corporation early demise - it was the exceptional hand of the free market fairy when 'twas forced by those pesky unions.
