OPINION: Michigan Democrats want to steal my rights so they can reward their union buddies
in the midterm elections, seem determined to force workers like me to pay union dues – regardless of what we want. I can’t imagine a bigger step backward for our state, or a bigger blow to my fundamental rights. I started working at the Rawsonville plant in 1996, following in the footsteps of my father, who took a job at Ford in the 1950s, and many uncles, aunts, and cousins over the years. None of us – not one – got to vote for the union.
That was certainly the case for me. As a lifelong conservative, I resented going to union meetings where I was told in no uncertain terms to vote for Democrats. I was tired of being screamed at – on the line, no less – by my plant’s union chairman when I didn’t toe the party line. I despised the climate of fear and conformity that led, and still leads, so many of my fellow line workers to stay silent.
The right-to-work law gave me the freedom to choose my own path. Yet Michigan Democrats — who just retook complete control of the state government for the first time in nearly 40 years — have made clear that repealing the right-to-work is one of their top priorities come January. Governor Gretchen Whitmer and incoming leaders in both the state House and Senate are all on board. If they succeed, every Michigan worker who’s left a union will be forced to pay up.
