The case was brought by public school employees with free legal assistance from National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation staff attorneys. The Appeals Court decision comes in response to union lawyers\u2019 challenge of MERC\u2019s ruling that so-called \u201cWindow Periods\u201d limiting to only a few weeks the time when an employee can resign from a union are an illegal restriction of employees\u2019 rights and violate Michigan\u2019s Right to Work law.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.nrtw.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/nrtw_slide3.jpg","thumbnail_width":1500,"thumbnail_height":1000}
