Adopting the bills was the fulfillment of a promise made by Democrats and a long-held wish by organized labor since Michigan became a right-to-work state in 2012. From michiganradio:

Adopting the bills was the fulfillment of a promise made by Democrats and a long-held wish by organized labor since Michiganin a rowdy, contentious session in 2012 when Republicans held power in the state Capitol. The 2012 law allows workers to opt out of paying union dues even if their workplace is represented by a union.

People cheered from the galleries as bills cleared the state House and Senate on their way to Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who has said she will sign them. The Legislature also adopted bills to require state contractors to pay union-level wages. Republicans also cried foul because the bills include appropriations, which would inoculate a new law against a referendum. Whitmer criticized that tactic after a Republican-led Legislature did the same thing to shield the 2012 from a ballot challenge.
