Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has a historic chance to radically change his state’s economy and revive dying cities like Detroit by making the Great Lakes State the 24th to adopt right-to-work laws. He should seize the opportunity and sign the state legislature’s recently passed bill. In fact, he should do it today.

The legislature’s speed in passing the bills last week surprised almost everyone. They evidently learned from Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s ordeal that the longer these battles draw out, the more Big Labor and its allies can intimidate lawmakers through protests and threats of retribution.
