Make Your Voice Heard on Minimum Wage Changes
What happened: In a blow to our state’s job providers and economic competitiveness, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled this summer that two ballot proposals from 2018 will take effect Feb. 21, 2025 – one raising the minimum wage, including that of tipped employees, and the other enacting a one-size-fits-all paid leave benefits for full-time, part-time and seasonal employees. 

The Michigan House and Senate will be in Lansing for session tomorrow, September 25, and we need your help! Businesses across the state face tremendous uncertainty with the elimination of the tipped minimum wage and the paid leave requirements due to the Court ruling. 

Why it's urgent: Because the Court’s decision takes effect in February, we are under a tight deadline and face extraordinary election pressures. That's why lawmakers need to hear from their constituents – including businesses like you from across their districts – on this issue. 

What lawmakers need to know: Share about the wages and benefits you provide your employees, and how the Court’s decision, if left unchanged, will negatively impact Michigan job providers, workers and your local community and economy. 

The bottom line: TAKE ACTION TODAY. Urge lawmakers to support commonsense legislation to lessen the harm of the Supreme Court’s decision!
