Trying to Kill Right to Work in MI, Breathes New Life
[media-credit name="| The National Right to Work Committee®" align="alignright" width="300"][/media-credit]Big Labor's coffers of forced union dues money was unable to permanently kill Right to Work in Michigan. Frank Beckman outlines who the union bosses picked a fight and lost despite spending $50 million. Their brazen efforts have set the stage for moving forward with Right to Work legislation in the state: Michigan voters issued a stinging rejection of state labor unions during Tuesday's elections, refusing to approve a single one of the ballot initiatives to which the big unions committed about $50 million dollars in support. The votes weren't even close, especially on labor's biggest target, Proposal 2, a constitutional amendment that would have given public sector labor unions unprecedented power and prohibited the future adoption of Right-to-Work legislation in Michigan. Reviews of labor strategy, crafted by Bob King's United Auto Workers union, will analyze whether the investment of about $50 million to push the proposals could have been used to focus on candidates instead.
