Major labor group enters battle to repeal Emergency Manager Law – Michigan AFL-CIO

By on July 5, 2012 in Emergency Manager Law, Labor, Public Act 4

Welcome! We saved you a seat!

After sitting on the sidelines for over a year in the battle to repeal Public Act 4 — Michigan’s anti-democratic Emergency Manager Law — the Michigan AFL-CIO labor union has now entered the fray. They are participating in a rally at the Michigan Court of Appeals next Wednesday.

It’s still not on the ballot. The Repeal of Public Act 4, the so-called Emergency Manager Law, has been delayed for far too long.

Please join us for an important rally and help make sure that Michigan voters get a chance to decide this critical issue.

When: Wednesday, July 11 at 3 P.M.
Where: MICHIGAN COURT APPEALS: DISTRICT I -DETROIT
Cadillac Place
3020 West Grand Boulevard; Suite 14-300
Detroit, MI 48202-6020

In addition to showing up, you can help by reaching out to your extended social network, including leaders and laymen in your communities of faith. Ask them to participate in and promote this rally.

In Solidarity,
Karla Swift, president

This is terrific news for those who value democracy and voting rights in Michigan. While I have long wished the major labor groups outside of the Michigan Education Association would have been involved earlier in this battle, I’m thrilled at least one of them is getting involved now.

Welcome aboard!

    You are sorely mistaken if you believe the emergency law is undemocratic. It is in the consitution and neverthless supported by more than 70% of the state’s population. Your ultra-partisan artiicle is quite laughable. You must have nothing else to do with your time to write such silliness.

        Conservatives are fair and balanced, never partisan, Fox News says so.

      By the way, when you say PA 4 is “in the constitution” you betray your ignorance. “PA” stands for “Public Act”. That means it was a law passed by the legislature. In this case, passed in 2011.
      Also, your figure of 70% in opposition to PA 4 may be right. Or it may be wrong. Nobody knows at the moment. That’s why we want a vote on it in November. Otherwise, we will never know because that is a figure you pulled out of your ass.

        He was thinking of the 70% of the 1%
