Dear Friend,?

This week, we celebrate every Michigander who works hard to keep our state moving. A strong workforce helps us create a thriving middle class, and the hardworking Michiganders who keep our state running deserve to feel safe and supported on the job. I will continue fighting to ensure that every Michigan worker can succeed.

Sincerely,?

Governor Whitmer

Worker?s Memorial Day

Our workers strive to ensure that our Michigan infrastructure is safe and reliable. Their efforts have made our state a better place by building up our infrastructure and growing our economy. That?s why I declared April 28th as Worker?s Memorial Day [ [link removed] ]. Today, we honor the friends, family members, and colleagues who have been killed or injured on the job.

Workplace Rights Week

This week is Workplace Rights Week [ [link removed] ] when we recognize the benefits of the right to organize, bargain collectively, and advocate for better protections. Workers deserve good benefits, fair wages, and time with their family. That?s why people work?to enjoy life with those they love most. This is key to building thriving communities and pathways to prosperity for more Michiganders.

Hardworking Michiganders deserve easy access to state resources for workplace rights. I will continue to work to ensure everyone is safe, does good work, earns a decent living, and can live a great life right here in Michigan.?

Restoring Workers Rights

Last month, I was proud to sign legislation strengthening worker?s rights [ [link removed]. ] to ensure workers can more effectively bargain together for fair wages and reinstating prevailing wage for all state projects. We also rolled back the retirement tax [ [link removed] ] to save half a million households an average of $1,000 a year. Our Michigan retirees deserve to keep all their hard-earned money and support their families.

The road to get here was not easy. It took a lot of organizing, advocacy, and solidarity, and I am so proud that we got it done. Fighting for working people grows the economy and helps businesses, too. I am focused on making Michigan a place where workers thrive and businesses succeed, powered by workers who are safe, supported, and happy.
