Join In A Week of Action to Restore Paid Leave
COVID Pandemic Highlights Need for Paid Leave for Workers
The MI Paid Leave Coalition, made up of individuals, businesses, community groups and non-profit organizations, have made a commitment to fight for the right of EVERY worker in Michigan to have access to PAID sick leave to care for themselves and their loved ones.
This week marks the second anniversary of when the Michigan legislature a ballot proposal calling for earned paid sick leave. This legislation was made possible by a statewide ballot campaign to let the public vote to approve paid sick leave in the fall of 2018. HOWEVER, conservative legislators voted to dramatically reduce the benefits of this new protection during the legislature’s “lame duck” session. Thousands of citizens, including people of faith in MUUSJN’s statewide network, worked to collect the signatures. Now we’re coming back to restore justice that was stolen from the people of Michigan.
