Wyandotte State Senator Creates Online Petition to Repeal Right-to-Work

State Sen. Hoon-Yung Hopgood gives Michigan residents a chance to voice their opinions.

State Sen. Hoon-Yung Hopgood (D–Taylor), whose district includes Wyandotte, has introduced a website that allows Michigan residents to sign a petition in an effort to repeal right-to-work legislation enacted during a lame duck session in December 2012, according to Hopgood's website.

The website, www.repealRTW.com, also features information on the legislation, how the legislation was passed and ways to contact local legislators.

“Now that the legislature has had an appropriate amount of time to process the real data behind right-to-work laws, and more information has come out about their true nature, I believe we can all agree that right-to-work is wrong for Michigan,” Hopgood said on his website.
