Labor unions are preparing to challenge the devastating union-busting bill signed into law this week by Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder. The law, which affects public and private sector workers, takes effect in early April and does not change existing contracts. In other words, if a contract does not expire until 2015, that's when the new law will take effect.
Union leaders are already working to muster public support for overturning this law, which was criticized by President Barack Obama, AFT President Randi Weingarten and many others such as AFT.
