opinion: Right-to-work legislation could benefit from being renamed
Posted on Wed, Dec 19, 2012 : 6:26 p.m.
It's time to stop calling the legislation that was passed and signed into law by Governor Rick Snyder a "right-to-work" law. Like the days when anti-abortion forces insisted on being called "pro-life," those who favor this anti-labor legislation are happy to have it called "right-to-work."
The media plays editorialist when it falls into the "right-to-work" trap in its news columns. Please, editors, correct this starting now by referring to the legislation and its fallout by its rightful name, "anti-labor."
