The Indiana State Senate has approved a right-to-work bill. The bill, which was approved on Monday after two hours of debate, would make Indiana the first right-to-work state in the mid-west. Supporters say that the bill will help attract businesses, while opponents say it is an attempt to weaken unions. The bill will now be voted on in the House of Representatives, where opponents have been stalling the bill.
