Just One Michigan Republican Votes for Labor Union Monopoly Over Government Construction Work

Just One Michigan Republican Votes for Labor Union Monopoly Over Government Construction Work [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
"Big Labor bosses seeking protection from non-union competition on government construction jobs had a two-front fight going on last week in both Washington, D.C., and Lansing.
Votes to determine the fate of project labor agreements occurred in both the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives and the GOP-dominated Michigan Senate.
When it was all over, a total of 34 Republican lawmakers from Michigan had cast votes on these legislative battlefields, and just one voted on the side of the labor unions to protect PLAs: Congressman Thad McCotter, R-Livonia."
