Michigan passes bills allowing home care workers to unionize
September 30, 2024 // “We know that more and more Michiganders are going to need care, that number is not going to go down, they should have access to adequate care and it’s about building a union but it’s also about making sure that every single person in the state of Michigan has the care they deserve and the care that they need,” said Menz. The bills are now waiting for Governor Gretchen Whitmer to officially sign them into law. Senate Republican Leader Aric Nesbitt said in a statement sent to News 10: “These bills only further grow the size of the government while simultaneously shrinking the available resources meant to help those in need.”
Michigan Senate votes to force public employers to give unions workers’ contact info
June 9, 2023 // The Democratic-controlled Michigan Senate voted Thursday to require public employers, like state agencies and schools, to provide personal contact information of workers to labor unions who represent them in negotiations. The proposal passed along party lines in a vote of 20-18. Democrats in the majority said the measure was needed to ensure unions had the ability to help employees. But minority Republicans contended the change could lead to harassment, and, they said, the intent was to give a "handout" to labor organizations who supported Democratic lawmakers' campaigns.
