LANSING, Mich. (March\u00a0<\/span><\/span>14<\/span>, 2023) \u2014\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Today,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Senate Democratic Majority voted to pass Senate Bills\u00a0<\/span><\/span>6<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and 3<\/span>4<\/span>, the Restoring Workers\u2019 Rights package.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe ability to speak up together with one voice for better pay and benefits and safer workplace conditions is a right that workers deserve,\u201d said Senate Majority Leader\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Winnie Brinks\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong>(D-Grand Rapids). \u201cBy repealing anti-worker laws,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>we\u2019re<\/span>\u00a0making our state a place where people want to come, work hard, and build a life knowing that they will be respected and able to earn a good living.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>It\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0a new era in Lansing and we are taking this historic opportunity to restore workers\u2019 freedom.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>Senate Bill<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>3<\/span>4<\/span><\/span><\/a>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>sponsored by Sen.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Darrin Camilleri<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>(<\/span>D-Trenton)<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span><\/span>passed\u00a0<\/span><\/span>in concert with\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>H<\/span>ouse\u00a0<\/span><\/span>B<\/span>ill<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>4004<\/span><\/span><\/a>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>will\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>guarantee that both public and private employees at unionized workplaces equally contribute to the costs of union representation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>With the historic passage of these bills, Michigan will be the first state to repeal anti-worker laws and restore collective bargaining rights since 1958.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cToday, we are doing something no state has done in nearly 60 years,\u201d said Sen<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Camilleri<\/span><\/span><\/strong>. \u201cWith the repeal of these worker suppression laws, workers all across our state will be able to secure better wages, benefits, and treatment at their jobs, and it will help build power in families that will last for generations, like it did for my own.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, workers in states with expanded workers\u2019 rights make $11,747 more annually<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>T<\/span><\/span>he Economic Policy Institute<\/span>\u00a0found<\/span>\u00a0workers in states with worker\u00a0<\/span><\/span>suppression\u00a0<\/span><\/span>policies\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>earn an average of 3.1% less<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0than workers in pro-worker states. This wage gap is particularly pronounced for workers in low-wage industries, such as food service and retail, who are more likely to be paid poverty-level wages.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span>T<\/span>he National Bureau of Economic Research<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0shows how laws eroding workers\u2019 freedoms are associated with lower wages and lower unionization rates over the long run.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>This legislation will also increase worker safety on the job and provide Michigan workers with the freedom to negotiate with their employer.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span>Senate Bill 6<\/span><\/span><\/a>, sponsored by Sen.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Veronica\u00a0<\/span>Klinefelt<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0(D-Eastpointe), would restore the state\u2019s prevailing wage law, which ensures the State of Michigan pays a prevailing wage and hires the highest skilled workers available on contracts to build roads,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>bridges<\/span>\u00a0and schools.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAll workers have value and should be compensated fairly. I\u00a0<\/span><\/span>firmly believe<\/span>\u00a0that the State of Michigan should get back to the practice of\u00a0<\/span><\/span>seeking<\/span>\u00a0highly skilled workers and paying competitive wages on our construction projects,\u201d said Sen.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Klinefelt<\/span><\/span><\/strong>. \u201cBy paying prevailing wages, we not only lift up Michigan families and increase the quality of life for workers in our state,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>we<\/span>\u00a0also build better buildings, roads, and bridges which in turn, increases the quality and life of our infrastructure.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

New poll results released yesterday by the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Michigan\u00a0<\/span><\/span>AFL-CIO show that 75 percent of Michigan voters want to expand workers\u2019 rights laws.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Fifty-eight percent\u00a0<\/span><\/span>of likely 2024 voters are supportive of laws that guarantee employees at unionized workplaces equally contribute to the costs of union representation,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0policy that\u00a0<\/span><\/span>SB<\/span>\u00a034\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>HB 4004\u00a0<\/span><\/span>that\u00a0<\/span><\/span>were passed\u00a0<\/span><\/span>by the Senate\u00a0<\/span><\/span>today will\u00a0<\/span><\/span>restore<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0Expanding workers\u2019 rights was popular across the political spectrum, with net favorability at +56 percent with Independents and +33 percent with Republicans.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cA union is the extension of democracy to the workplace, giving workers a voice and power to help determine their own working conditions, pay, and benefits,\u201d said Sen.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>John Cherry<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0(D-Flint), Senate Labor Committee Chair, which took testimony on and passed the Restoring Workers\u2019 Rights bills this morning. \u201cBy repealing Michigan\u2019s worker suppression law, we are restoring workers\u2019 rights, returning that voice and reinvigorating that power, and our entire state will benefit from our action today.\u201d<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
