The Fight on Prevailing Wage
(CBS DETROIT) - Along with repealing the right-to-work law, Michigan has also reinstated the prevailing wage. The law requires union-level pay and benefits for any publicly-funded state construction projects. Hear how ABC is fighting to protect Merit Shop workers.
Repeal of Michigan's right-to-work laws impacts Michiganders
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan, long known as a mainstay of organized labor, became the first state in decades to repeal a union-restricting law known as "right-to-work" that was passed over a decade ago by a Republican-controlled Legislature. Now with the repeal, Merit Shop workers are in danger of losing the opportunity to bid. But this won’t be the end for Right to Work.
