Gov. Mitch Daniels says he is ready to make Indiana the 23rd right-to-work state as soon as a bill reaches his desk.

The state Senate is on schedule to send the measure to Daniels Wednesday following a series of votes and debate this week. The Senate labor committee voted 6-1 Monday morning in favor of right-to-work.

Daniels also said Monday it would be a "colossal mistake" for union protesters to use the Super Bowl festivities as a national stage to oppose right-to-work.

The measure would ban unions from collecting mandatory fees for representation. Indiana is set to become the first state in the union-heavy Rust Belt to approve the measure.
