LANSING, Mich. — Labor unions and their Democratic allies acknowledge there’s virtually no chance of preventing right-to-work legislation from being enacted in Michigan this week. But they’re planning to fight to the end - and seek payback at the polls.
The Republican-controlled state House and Senate are expected to put finishing touches as early as Tuesday on bills that would prohibit requiring employees to join a union or pay fees similar to union dues as a condition of employment. Gov. Rick Snyder says he’ll sign them.
Right-to-work supporters say it’s about improving the business climate and giving employees freedom of association.
