Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has signed legislation to repeal the state's decade-old “right-to-work” law, which was passed by a Republican-controlled Legislature
FILE - Union members, supporters and others put their hats back on after reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, Tuesday morning, March 14, 2023. Michigan, long known as a mainstay of organized labor, became the first state in decades to repeal a union-restricting law known as “right-to-work” that was passed over a decade ago by a Republican-controlled Legislature. LANSING, Mich.
Democrats had argued that the law allowed for “free riders” that received union representation without having to pay fees or dues. Without it, unions can now require all workers in a unionized workplace to pay fees for the cost of representation in bargaining. In total, 26 states now have “right-to-work” laws in place. There were massive protests in Indiana and Wisconsin in recent years after those legislatures voted to curb union rights.
"These wide swings in public policy, this whiplash effect that we're possibly seeing here in Michigan isn't helpful for a stable economic climate or for growing jobs in Michigan," Wendy Block of the Michigan Chamber of CommerceThe legislation Whitmer signed also includes $1 million in appropriations, which Republicans say is to ensure they are “referendum-proof.
