But then, starting in the 1970s, things went south — in part because of the might of the unions that ran the state’s political machine. That’s when Michigan transitioned into the sad symbol of closed factories: the American “Rust Belt.” Flint, Michigan, became a ghost town.From the 1970s to the early 2000s, Detroit lost nearly half its population.
"Right to work" is the law of the land in 26 states. These laws do not prohibit unions. There are many unions in these states."Right to work" simply means that workers cannot be compelled to join a union. This bill will not only take away the right to choose from Michigan workers, but it will also do great damage to the state’s economy. States that have"right to work" laws create jobs at almost twice the pace of states with forced union policies.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer , a stooge of the unions, will sign the bill into law. And Michigan is about to see a return to the Rust Belt era.
