LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Michigan House is debating a bitterly contested right-to-work bill as pro-union demonstrators continue their noisy protest in Lansing.
Republicans control the House and are expected to approve the measure, which would apply to public sector workers. A bill dealing with private sector workers was passed last week. The Senate has OK’d both bills.
