State Representative Regina Weiss says the people who built the middle class have often been stripped of their rights. That’s why she and state Representative Terry Sabo are introducing bills to restore organizing, collective bargaining, and workers’ rights. Weiss spoke with Michigan News Network.

“Our legislative package that we’re introducing today empowers workers and restores many of the rights taken away from Michiganders over the years. It gives school employees a voice in important decision making impacting their classrooms and their jobs.”

An AFL-CIO representative says the bills are full of protections that workers need. They say that’s especially needed during the pandemic when many workers are underpaid and overworked.
