Just days after the Michigan legislature passed a right-to-work law, President Obama attacked the legislation and called for the creation of “good, new, union jobs.”

“What we shouldn’t be doing is trying to take away your rights to bargain for better wages and work conditions,” Obama said at a Daimler factory in Redford, Mich., this afternoon, per a live transcription. “These so called right to work laws, they don’t have to do ith economics — they have everything to do with politics. What they’re really doing is trying to talk about the right to work for less money.”
