TL;DR

The Michigan Senate has passed a bill to repeal the state's right-to-work law, which allows employees in unionized jobs to opt out of membership and paying dues. The bill will now go to the state House, where it must agree on the final language. If passed, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has said she will sign the bill into law.
