Summary: WEAKENED UNIONS. Michigan's Republican governor Rick Snyder signed “right-to-work” legislation into law, banning union dues from being automatically deducted from workers’ payroll. Unions call this legislation "right to work for less". There are now 24 states with similar laws. This edition looks at what impact such laws will have on union workers and middle and low-income workers.
