Last week, the governor of Michigan officially signed a repeal of the state’s 10-year old Right-to-Work law.
“With the stroke of her pen, Whitmer made Michigan the first state in nearly 60 years to abandon the policy opposed by labor advocates,” reported the Detroit Free Press.
Despite a majority of Michiganders supporting Right-to-Work, with its repeal, unionized workers in Michigan will, once again, be required to financially support unions or lose their jobs.
On this episode of Labor Relations Radio, in the wake of Michigan’s repeal, Glenn Taubman, a long-serving staff attorney with the National Right to Work Foundation, discusses a wide array of rights and options that employees who live in states without Right-to-Work laws have, as well as the largely unknown fact that employees do not have a legally-mandated right to ratify collective bargaining agreements.
