Introduced
by
To prohibit the state or local governments from entering a union contract that does not require their employees to pay union dues and fees as a condition of employment. This would violate the 2018 ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court in Janus vs. AFSCME, which held that requiring government workers pay union dues violates their First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and freedom of association. The bill would also repeal a law that specifically prohibits using "force, intimidation, or unlawful threats" to "compel any public employee to...become a member of a labor organization," and more. The bill is sponsored or cosponsored by 49 of 52 Michigan House Democrats.
Referred to the Committee on Workforce, Trades, and Talent
