Gov. Snyder and the modern Republican Party in Michigan have betrayed the principles many of our union members who support true common-sense conservative ideals embrace. Snyder's lies and deceptions make it worse. And since his double-cross on right to work, Snyder's polling numbers have plunged, his approval down by 20-plus points, for good reason.

Yet his right to work laws let people avoid paying the "user fee" of union dues while benefiting from the union process. That's unfair and people know it.
