LANSING — Today, the Michigan Senate passed legislation to expand workers’ rights and restore prevailing wage laws. Michigan Democratic Party Chair Lavora Barnes issued the following statement:
“I’m proud that Michigan Democrats have delivered on their promises and are making our state one of the only to restore worker freedoms. Yet again, Republicans are showing voters they will do anything to put big corporations and special interests first and working families last in their relentless fight to gut unions. Thousands of Michigan families will get a living wage, safer working conditions, and the workplace protections they deserve, and we will ensure voters in communities across the state know that Michigan Republicans fought against that historic achievement.”
