LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Michigan has become the first state to repeal the right-to-work law as the repeal takes effect today.
It was passed in 2013 under former Governor Rick Snyder when the state House and Senate were firmly under Republican control and was repealed last year after Democrats took the majority in both chambers.
Michigan AFL-CIO president Ron Bieber says unions are pleased with the move and says everyone contributing to the strength of the union and their ability to negotiate and improve wages benefits all workers.
The Mackinac Center for Public Policy disagrees and says no one should have to join a union against their will.
