Detroit Free Press Urges Snyder To Put Right-To-Work Laws On Ballot
Source: TPM
PEMA LEVY 4:33 PM EST, MONDAY DECEMBER 10, 2012
The Detroit Free Press urged Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder to accept a compromise from the state's Democratic congressional delegation to put right-to-work laws on the ballot rather than signing them into law, in an editorial published Monday afternoon. The right-to-work legislation already passed by the state Senate could land on the governor's desk as early as Tuesday against major opposition from Democrats and unions.
If Gov. Rick Snyder expects Michiganders to believe his professed interest in worker choice is anything more than the most cynical doublespeak, hell embrace a reasonable compromise Michigans Democratic congressional delegation proposed at a meeting in the governors Cadillac Place office Monday morning.

Maybe there's a way to reverse it via a referendum or something. Like what was done with his Emergency Manager bullshit.

(203 posts)The MI GOP attached the right to work measure to an appropriations bill, making the referendum option impossible.

If it does pass in the MI legislature then the voters should petition to place it on a ballot for which they can vote to oppose it's enforcement like the voters of Ohio did when they opposed that anti-labor bill passed by the repukes in 2011.
