Michigan Senate Votes to Repeal Right-to-Work Law

The Michigan Senate has voted to repeal the state's right-to-work law, which prohibits public and private unions from requiring nonunion employees to pay union dues. The bill will now go back to the House for final approval, and Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has said she will sign it. The Senate also voted to restore the state's prevailing wage law. Republicans attached spending appropriations to both bills to make them "referendum-proof," but opponents could still protect the policy by putting a constitutional amendment on the ballot.
