Labor leader worried about right to work in Wis.
A local labor leader says he's concerned that a right to work law could be coming to Wisconsin, after the Michigan legislature passed that kind of law yesterday.
Mark Westphal of the Fox Valley Labor Council says Republicans in Michigan passed the law, after the governor repeatedly said it wasn't a priority. He says Republicans here could pass a similar bill, even through Governor Walker says it's not something he's interested in pursuing now.
Westphal says lawmakers should think twice before passing laws that attack unions, because they raise the bar for all workers.
Westphal says he feels unions are still necessary to protect those rights for workers.
