Union Bosses Threaten Retaliation Over Right to Work Law — Again
Al Garrett, president of Michigan AFSCME Council 25, and Larry Roehrig, secretary treasurer, laid out their plans about how to “attack†the law.
“There is going to be retribution,” Garrett said.
Garrett predicted that right-to-work law would be repealed in some manner within two years.
He said recall action would start “as soon as we can.” He said union lawyers are combing over the law to see if it can be overturned in court.
Any legal action wouldn’t begin until after the legislators are out of session, which Garrett estimated would be Dec. 27.
Garrett said the union will publish the names of the Republican legislators who voted to give workers the freedom to choose whether they want to pay dues or fees to a union, and he said the union would post those legislators names on the union’s website.
“We will not forget the folks who did this to us,” he said.
“There is no cure for stupid, and that’s what we saw this week from the Republican side of the aisle,” Roehrig said.
