3 | Currently, the State of Michigan has a Right to Work law. This law allows workers to belong to a labor union if they wish, but workers are not required to belong to a union in order to get a job or keep a job.
Should the Michigan Legislature leave Michigan's Right to Work Law in place? Or should the Michigan Legislature repeal Michigan's Right to Work law? |

3 | Currently, the State of Michigan has a Right to Work law. This law allows workers to belong to a labor union if they wish, but workers are not required to belong to a union in order to get a job or keep a job.
Should the Michigan Legislature leave Michigan's Right to Work Law in place? Or should the Michigan Legislature repeal Michigan's Right to Work law? |
