| Push for Amendment Protecting Collective Bargaining Launches in Michigan. A push to protect collective bargaining in Michigan officially launched on Tuesday. Union workers and others opposed to "Right to Work" laws have now begun gathering signatures to force a change to the state constitution. They want collective bargaining to be guaranteed in Michigan.Supporters of a constitutional amendment will need to gather more than 300,000 signatures by July to get the amendment on the November ballot.The push is part of a pre-emptive strike from unions, on what they see as a seige on middle class workers.Unions say the amendment goes beyond "Right to Work" but "Right to Work" is a large part of the discussion. Supporters wanted to act before Michigan lawmakers introduce legislation that would make it illegal to force someone to join a union and pay dues as a condition of employment."The political environment is very anti-worker right now and that's why we feel the need to put a constitutional amendment to guarantee that our voice is continually heard," teacher Jeff Bean said.Those behind the campaign say there's more than 80 pending bills in the legislature that will erode workers rights, and another from State Representative Mike Shirkey that would make Michigan the 24th right to work state.Supporters danced around questions about exactly what the amendment would do if enacted, but did say it would likely nullify any "Right to Work" legislation.As written, it guarantees the right to form, join or assist labor organizations and to bargain collectively with a public or private employer. It would also prevent lawmakers from restricting collective bargaining. Supporters of the amendment maintain it's about the workers."I don't know who wouldn't sign somthing like this, because a strong middle class benefits every level of Michigan," Bean said.Volunteers with "Protect our Jobs" the group behind the amendment, say they've already collected a number of signatures, though they couldn't say how many.They plan to be circulating petitions across the state Wednesday. Local 372 will have petitions available by Monday April 16, 2012 for eveyone to sign!!!! |
