Michigan Repeals 'Right-to-Work' Law, Restores Prevailing Wage.

Michigan has become the first state in 58 years to repeal a "right-to-work" law, which allowed those in unionized workplaces to opt out of paying union dues and fees. The law was passed more than a decade ago by a Republican-controlled Legislature. Democrats had argued it allowed for "free riders" that received union representation without having to pay fees or dues. Over half of U.S. states now have right-to-work laws in place.
