Panelists will include state Sen. Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan AFL-CIO President Karla Swift, and David Hecker, president of the Michigan American Federation of Teachers.
“We hope to provide a forum for an intelligent, reasoned, and relevant discussion of the Michigan version of the right to work law that was passed in December 2012 with no committee discussion and no public participation, by a lame-duck legislature and our governor,” said Chairman Roy Schmidt.
