For years union officials in Michigan have argued that mandatory membership in unionized workplaces is essential to strong unions, and that the "right to work" is in effect the "right to starve." But economic data collected over the last 30 years show that right-to-work states have outperformed Michigan in job creation, employment, and even income distribution. If Michigan were to become a right-to-work state, Wilson contends, it would be a good deal for Michigan workers.
On June 13, the Mackinac Center for Public Policy will host Mackinac Center scholar and former Comerica Bank economist Dr. William Wilson as he discusses how right-to-work laws operate and their impact on economic activity.
The luncheon begins promptly at 12:00 noon. Please make reservations for yourself and any guests by noon on June 11, 2002, by calling the Mackinac Center at (989) 631-0900 or send your e-mail to: rsvp@mackinac.org.
