In another news article we have:

Not surprisingly, the UAW comes out and says right to work is wrong for Michigan. But they aren't worried about losing members, says UAW Vice President Cindy Estrada. Th UAW already operates facilities in right-to-work states, such as Texas, and employees opting to join the union remain high.

The most likely reason why UAW can operate in right-to-work states, is that they can apply pressure on the Michigan-based auto companies to tell suppliers in other states that acceptance of the UAW is a condition of doing business with them. But if the UAW loses its power in Michigan, it will create a cascading effect elsewhere.

But if the UAW loses its power in Michigan, it will create a cascading effect elsewhere.

Michigan truly is the crown jewel of unions. We don't have the most union members anymore but we are the soul of American unionism. This is the most devastating thing to happen to unions in America. Its also a devastating blow to democrats nationwide who collect some $250 million dollars in union political contributions from Michigan alone.
