The Alabama Senate approved a proposed constitutional amendment Thursday that would add the state’s right-to-work law to the document, a change that proponents say could attract more industry…

The right-to-work law provides that employees can’t be required to join a union or pay union dues as a condition of employment. The proposed constitutional amendment mirrors that by saying, “An employer may not require a person, as a condition of employment or continuation of employment, to pay dues, fees or other charges of any kind to any labor union or labor organization.”

“If Michiganders can keep the momentum going this year, they may soon have their Right to Work law back.”
Under current law, union dues are often extracted from Idaho teachers’ paychecks without their active consent.
