Michigan Governor Repeals 'Right-to-Work' Law in Victory for Labor Unions.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed a package of bills repealing the state's "right to work" law that allowed workers to opt out of unions, making her the first governor since the 1960s to roll back right-to-work legislation. The move is a long-sought victory for labor organizers facing an era of diminished power. Republicans opposed repealing the law, arguing that it would hurt businesses and make the state less attractive to companies.
