LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Democrats in Michigan's Legislature and congressional delegation made a final push Monday to stall Republican-led right-to-work proposals that would limit the power of unions in the major Midwest industrial state.
U.S. Sen. Carl Levin and Michigan Democrats in the U.S. House met with Gov. Rick Snyder Monday morning in Detroit and urged him to veto the legislation, which could get final passage as early as Tuesday when the Legislature reconvenes. Levin said Snyder pledged to "seriously consider" the group's requests, including their demand for a statewide referendum on the issue.
President Barack Obama, who has stated his opposition to right-to-work legislation in Michigan and elsewhere, arrived at a suburban Detroit auto plant Monday afternoon. He was greeted by Snyder as well as Democratic members of Michigan's congressional delegation.

Gov. Snyder's under some hard-core political pressure.
