Back in July, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled in Mothering Justice v. Attorney General that the Legislature violated the state constitution in 2018 by using a shady tactic known as “adopt and amend” to undermine two citizen-proposed statutes. These rulings should pave the way for significant progress — one law to raise Michigan’s minimum wage and another to guarantee paid sick leave for workers.
But right now, the Michigan House is considering two dangerous bills, HB 6056 and HB 6057, that aim to undercut this critical ruling. If passed, these bills would strip Michiganders of the wages and benefits they’ve been unfairly denied for the past six years — money and protections workers are owed by law.
The clock is ticking! With the legislative session nearing its end, anti-worker forces are rushing to push these bills through. We cannot let this happen. They must hear from YOU, loud and clear: Protect Michigan workers. Stop these harmful bills.

Don’t wait. Act now to demand justice for Michigan workers. Together, we can stop this attack on our progress.
