MI SB0725

Removes prohibition on requiring non-union employees to pay agency fees or union dues as a condition of employment in the private sector, reversing Michigan's right-to-work protections enacted in 2012.

Eliminates language prohibiting "right to work" protections consistent with Section 14(b) of the National Labor Relations Act from the state's public policy declaration.

Allows employers to enter into all-union agreements with one or more labor organizations recognized by consent as representatives of a majority of employees.

Modifies Section 8 to remove the explicit right of employees to refrain from union activities, replacing it with language allowing employees to organize and engage in collective bargaining.

Changes criminal penalties in Section 17 for violations from civil fines to misdemeanor charges punishable by up to 90 days imprisonment or a $500 fine, and takes effect 90 days after enactment.
