Michigan’s Labor Movement Profoundly Disappointed in Gov. Whitmer’s Betrayal of Michigan Workers 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Michigan’s labor movement, including the Michigan AFL-CIO, UAW and the Michigan Education Association, issued the following joint statement on Governor Whitmer’s veto of the stalled bills:

This veto is an insult to every hard-working Michigander fighting for economic justice. We condemn her betrayal of Michigan workers, and call on political leaders who value our state’s working families to do the same.”
