Whitmer Kills Right to Work in Michigan

[Free Vulcan]

In a move that Politico claims is somehow connected to making lives better for workers in a crushing economy, Michigan’s Democrat governor Gretchen Whitmer has struck down her state’s Right to Work Act.

That bill protected employees in Michigan from being compelled to fund a union against their will. Thanks to Whitmer’s repeal, it is unions — not working Americans and their families — that will enjoy government protections.

Now, unions can force membership on workers and make them pay dues as a condition of hire or continued employment. The National Law Review expects the change “to be effective in July, 90 days after the close of the state’s legislative session.” Whitmer signed the repeal bill last Friday.

Michigan is the first state in 58 years to repeal a right-to-work act. That is thanks to the fact that for the first time in 40 years, Democrats control Michigan’s state government.

Crumbling infrastructure?  Ghost cities?  Frigid, cloudy weather for half of the year?  Here’s an idea: Let’s drive every productive young person into another state.  Maybe they will send money home, like Mexicans.

"Besides taking away workers’ rights and making the state less attractive to businesses, Whitmer’s repeal of Right-To-Work will ensure unions have more money to donate to Democrats."

And there is the real reason. ^↑

Back during the peak of the housing bubble in the early 2000s, 60 minutes ran a story about how rough Michigan was. That was during the reign of Jennifer Granholm.

Whitmer:”Hold my beer.”
