The Associated Builders and Contractors congratulated Michigan for becoming the nation’s 24th right-to-work state.
“Workers in Michigan have a reason to celebrate because they now have the right to freely decide whether to join a union,” said the association’s national chairman, Eric Regelin, president of Granix LLC in Ellicott City, Md. “No American should be required to join a labor union just to keep a job, and no resident of Michigan should be forced to pay dues to an organization he or she does not believe in. That is just wrong.”
