Businessman Dick DeVos credited the Mackinac Center, the business community and key legislators for getting a right-to-work law passed in Michigan in a recent speech at the Heritage Foundation, according to The Detroit News.

Labor Policy Director F. Vincent Vernuccio discussed falling union numbers on “Stateside” Monday afternoon on Michigan Public Radio.
