"Right to work" is another GOP misleading label hoping - and often succeeding - to get low information and poor readers' votes.Michigan became the first state in decades to repeal its “right-to-work” law when Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) signed legislation on Friday to rescind it.
The governor’s office said in a release that Whitmer signed a package of bills that will protect workers’ safety and help them push for better wages and working conditions.
[...]
The repeal of the law is a major victory for labor unions in the state amid record low union membership nationwide.
“Right-to-work” laws allow employees at unionized workplaces to opt out of joining a union and or paying dues.
[...]
Whitmer also signed a prevailing wage law into effect that requires contractors who are working on state projects to pay union-level wages. Republicans had repealed this law in 2018.
[...]
Indiana was the most recent state to repeal a “right-to-work” law in 1965. Republicans restored the law in 2012.
