Michigan Repeals 'Right-to-Work' Law in Victory for Unions.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has signed legislation to repeal the state's "right-to-work" law, making it the first state in decades to do so. The law allowed employees at unionized workplaces to opt out of joining a union and paying dues. Critics argued that it weakened unions and harmed employees' pay, benefits, and working conditions. The repeal is a significant victory for labor unions in the state, which has seen record low union membership nationwide. The state also passed a prevailing wage law requiring contractors working on state projects to pay union-level wages.
