Right to Work Foundation Ready to Uphold Michigan’s Right to Work Law
National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation Vice President and Legal Director, Ray LaJeunesse, reviews plans to uphold Michigan’s Right to Work Law against any and all challengers.
Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels signed the state’s right-to-work law Feb. 1, and within weeks the first of two legal challenges had been filed. The paths of those lawsuits may be duplicated here in Michigan, and right-to-work supporters are preparing for the fight.
Last week, the Virginia-based National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation announced it would create a task force to uphold Michigan’s law against court challenges.
“Although we anticipate several union court challenges, we’re confident that our legal team will be able to defend Michiganders’ right to work … ,” said Ray LaJeunesse, the foundation’s vice president, in a statement. “Foundation attorneys stand ready to defend the new … law and help any Michigander who wishes to refrain from paying dues to a union he or she doesn’t voluntarily belong to.”
