The building, now the Hart-Dole-Inouye Federal Center, bears his name along with his colleagues' Sens. Dole and Hart who were also patients there during the war. Sen.

"As Michigan's economy is recovering, we need to work together to build a stronger economy, not tear our state apart with divisive political issues. By passing this so-called ‘right to work' bill, Michigan is taking a major step backward. It will mean lower wages and fewer benefits for every worker, and a poisoned political environment. That is why I have repeatedly urged Governor Snyder to veto these bills. If they become law, it will be a sad day in Michigan's long history of labor and business working together to create jobs and build a strong middle class."

"Michigan has a proud history of labor and business working together to create jobs and provide a better standard of living for middle-class families. I strongly oppose this partisan push to pass 'right-to-work' legislation. Workers need to have confidence that they have a voice in the workplace, and this proposal silences that voice. I am deeply concerned about the impact of this incredibly divisive action on our state's economy at a time when we need everyone working together to solve problems and move our state forward. This is a sad moment in Michigan's history and a serious step backward for our state."
