The debate over whether Michigan should become a right-to-work state has intensified because of actions in a neighboring state.
Indiana recently became a right-to-work state.
Supporters of right-to-work laws say Michigan should follow suit
in order to stay competitive for business investment and jobs. Critics say right-to-work laws don't have much influence on business decisions and that making such a move would hurt the state.
Democrats appear united against right-to-work efforts in Michigan. But there's some division among Republicans.
Republican Gov. Rick Snyder says a right-to-work debate would be
divisive, and he doesn't want such a measure sent to his desk.
Supporters of right-to-work are expected to soon introduce a Michigan proposal in the state Legislature.
