CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Senate Majority Leader Mitch Carmichael said a push to make West Virginia a right-to-work state is dead this session.

The Jackson County Republican, who sponsored a right-to-work bill, made the comments to The Associated Press on Friday.

The proposal would have made it a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a $5,000 fine, to require workers to pay dues to a union. It wouldn't have applied to federal workers.

Employees who don't pay dues still benefit from the union representation.
