SEIU President Calls Right to Work Bill “Dangerous”
SEIU International President, Mary Kay Henry made an appearance on The Rachel Maddow Show last night after Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed the so-called “Right-to-Work” bill into law, despite the presence of more than 17,000 workers at the State Capitol building yesterday urging him not to sign. This dangerous law is an attack on Michigan’s middle class and strips away rights for workers, both union and non-union. President Henry, who’s also aMichigan native, called the events yesterday an “incredible day for working people.”
By signing this bill, Governor Snyder has effectively decided “Michiganneeds to become a low wage economy where you have to string together three jobs in order to make ends meet and eliminate the remaining middle class,” said Henry.
