The Michigan Senate approved a bill on March 14 to repeal the 2012 right-to-work law that made paying dues or agency fees to a union at unionized workplaces optional.

The bill narrowly passed along party lines in a 20–17 vote. A similar package of three bills passed the House the previous week, meaning the two chambers will have to decide on which version to send to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to be signed.
