Incoming Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks says all Democratic priorities are on the table, including a repeal of Michigan’s “Right to Work” legislation. That bans a requirement for workers to financially support union membership.
“I think the important thing to remember is we value workers and they deserve their fair share for the economic productivity that they help create."
But future Republican Leader Aric Nesbitt is panning the idea.
“If she’s serious about developing our economy, then it’s about preserving some of these labor reforms that Governor Snyder and the Republican Legislature passed.”
Next session will be the Democrats’ first time in charge of the Senate since 1984.
