Wisconsin Republicans are trying to pass a controversial "right to work" law that would ban "union shop" contracts requiring union membership. But on Tuesday they got some pushback from a top member of their own party from Minnesota.
Rep. Pat Garofalo, R-Farmington, said Wisconsin's right-to-work bill is "heavy-handed and wrong" and would hurt business owners who want to work with unions. And he wants to bring those businesses to Minnesota.
"Wisconsin's right-to-work legislation would negatively impact the private contracts between these companies and the unions they have voluntarily decided to partner with," Garofalo said in a Tuesday statement. "It's heavy-handed and the wrong for Wisconsin to inject government into these private contractual relationships that has worked well for private companies for decades."
Garofalo chairs the Republican-controlled House's Job Growth and Energy Affordability Committee.
