Michigan Laborers’ District Council Staff

Extremists in Michigan are trying to bust your Union! Despite its misleading title, so-called “Right to Work” laws do not guarantee anyone gainful employment and does not protect workers. In fact, “Right to Work” does the opposite! Workers in “Right to Work” states earn significantly less than workers in free bargaining states, workers have less health care in “Right to Work” states, and “Right to Work” states have a nearly 55% higher fatality rate on job sites. “Right to Work” is wrong for Michigan and wrong for Union Laborers and their families.

On Tuesday, May 20^th, the Michigan House of Representative passed the Hire Michigan First package of bills.  This package would require that companies utilizing state subsidies hire 100% Michigan workers.  Also included in the package are measures to ensure that employers that knowingly hire undocumented workers are penalized.  Strengthening compliance of prevailing wage on state projects is also in the bill package.  However, companies that utilize collective bargaining agreements would be exempt.  This package would significantly benefit Union Laborers’ and their families and protect our jobs here in Michigan from being outsourced.
