The Senate Labor Committee is holding a hearing on a package that would repeal ‘right to work’ and reinstate prevailing wage. Huge group here - mostly union workers - filling up multiple rooms and overflowing into the lobby.

Kicked off the hearing with a fight between senators.





Re: ‘Right to work,’ a really useful visual from @Simon_Schuster of @MLive, using U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

This shows how many workers have come to be covered by unions, despite not paying union dues, since RTW went into effect in Michigan a decade ago.
