The state is the first state in 58 years to repeal a so-called right-to-work law. Now, all members of a union can be required to pay for the cost of representation at the bargaining table. Ron Bieber, the President of Michigan AFL-CIO, said this repeal would make for stronger unions and, in turn, a stronger economy. “If we want to make Michigan a place where people want to come and raise a family and build their careers for the long haul, it is critical that we have got these strong workplace protections,“ he said. Beiber said starting Tuesday, workers in Michigan have leveled the field and taken back rights he says they should have had all along. WILX 10
