Union to
Appeal Right-to-Work Decision
The United Auto Workers (UAW) has decided to
appeal the Court of Appeals decision applying the right-to-work law to state
employees to the Michigan Supreme Court. State employee unions have previously
argued that the Legislature cannot change such employment conditions, that the
authority to do so lies solely in the Civil Service Commission.
