Michigan Bills Limiting Union Power Pass in Legislature The Michigan Legislature approved sweeping legislation on Tuesday that vastly reduces the power of organized labor in a state that has been a symbol of union dominance and served as an incubator for union activity over decades of modern American labor history. The two bills, approved by the House of Representatives over the shouts of thousands of angry union protesters who gathered on the lawn outside the Capitol building, will among other things, bar both public and private sector union workers from being required to pay fees as a condition of their employment.  The bills have already been approved by the State Senate, and Gov. Rick Snyder has said he intends to sign the legislation as soon as this week. Procedural maneuvering could still briefly delay the bill through calls for reconsideration. Critics say the ‘Right To Work’ bill is a union-busting law that allows workers to benefit from union bargaining (ex. automatic pay raise) without being part of the union and paying dues. It essentially weakens unions by draining them of funds.

Michigan Bills Limiting Union Power Pass in Legislature

The Michigan Legislature approved sweeping legislation on Tuesday that vastly reduces the power of organized labor in a state that has been a symbol of union dominance and served as an incubator for union activity over decades of modern American labor history.

The two bills, approved by the House of Representatives over the shouts of thousands of angry union protesters who gathered on the lawn outside the Capitol building, will among other things, bar both public and private sector union workers from being required to pay fees as a condition of their employment. 

The bills have already been approved by the State Senate, and Gov. Rick Snyder has said he intends to sign the legislation as soon as this week. Procedural maneuvering could still briefly delay the bill through calls for reconsideration.

Critics say the ‘Right To Work’ bill is a union-busting law that allows workers to benefit from union bargaining (ex. automatic pay raise) without being part of the union and paying dues. It essentially weakens unions by draining them of funds.
