Repealing Michigan's Right to Work Law Could Have Major Consequences
With Democrats taking hold of the House and Senate in Michigan, there are concerns that they could try to remove the Right to Work.
Right to Work Gaining Momentum in Michigan?
In a recent editorial, the Detroit News questioned whether Right to Work was gaining momentum in the state of Michigan:
A month ago, when James Epolito of the state’s economic development agency was asked whether Michigan should become a right-to-work state, in which union membership or the paying of union dues or fees cannot be made a condition of employment, he said, “That’s a very hard question for me to answer.” Translation: It’s a taboo subject in Lansing. But Peter Karmanos Jr., head of one of the state’s largest knowledge economy firms, said this week it might be time for Michigan to become a right-to-work state. He joins with former Comerica Bank chief economist David Littmann in broaching the topic. The taboo seems to be weakening.
