Governor
and the Michigan Civil Service Commission.
Back when Snyder signed the Right to Work law, many voices rang in on whether the CSC had the right to overule the law, as it affected start employees. Governor Snyder asked the State Supreme Court to weigh in, and to his dismay the cort determined:
"We are not persuaded that granting the request would be an appropriate exercise of the court's discretion.”
At the time such voices as Attorney General Bill Schuette said they would sue the CSC for not forcing state employees to abide by right to work, but that is a task that many have tried in the past. Since 1908, the CSC was established to create a constitutionally protected agency to oversee the rules of employment of state workers, and to always make sure state employees would not be the pawns of either political party. Some Republicans have fought to disband the CSC, but so far the CSC is alive and well, and is still the agency that oversees those rules.
As Republican attorney Richard McLellan says:
“It amazes that me that people are going around saying this [right-to-work law] affects state employees. Under the state constitution, the Civil Service Commission has plenary power over state employees.The Legislature has no power.”
So if right to Work was the Republican determination to take rights away from state employees, it would appear that, for the moment, they have been stymied.
