Wayne State officials invited to testify in Lansing about faculty contract

Michigan lawmakers on Thursday asked Wayne State University leaders to testify next week before an oversight committee on a tentative labor contract reached this week with the school's faculty union. The eight-year contract is expected to be formally voted on by the 1,950-member faculty next Wednesday. If members ratify the agreement, which was announced this week, it will avoid the March 28 effective date of Michigan's right to work law, which bans unions from requiring employees to pay union dues or fees as a condition of employment. Rep. Tom McMillin, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, invited WSU officials to testify on Tuesday, the day before union members are set to vote.
