Groups sue over maneuver that weakened wage, sick time laws | News, Sports, Jobs


Associated Press
LANSING, Mich. (AP) Michigan Republicans’ lame-duck maneuver to weaken voter-proposed minimum wage and paid sick leave laws was unconstitutional, organizers of the ballot initiatives said in lawsuit filed Tuesday.
The complaint came more than 16 months after the state Supreme Court declined to issue a rare advisory opinion on the legality of the move, which could have prevented a lengthy court fight.
In 2018, the GOP-controlled Legislature engaged in “adopt and amend,” a controversial and unprecedented strategy. To prevent minimum wage and sick time ballot drives from going to the electorate, after which they would have been much harder to change if voters had passed them, legislators approved them so they could be made more business-friendly after the election with simple majority votes and the signature of the outgoing Republican governor, Rick Snyder. ....

In 2018, the Republican-led lame duck legislature prevented  minimum wage and sick time laws from getting on Michiganders ballots by adopting the proposals and then gutting them.

The original proposals would raise the minimum wage in Michigan to $12 an hour by 2022 and increase wages for tipped workers, as well as allow employees to accrue up to 72 hours of paid sick leave. The petitions for the bills received hundreds of thousands of signatures. ....
