LANSING, MICH. – To further exemplify Michigan’s commitment to protecting working people and the importance of the labor force to the state’s economy, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has proclaimed April 24-28 as the third annual Workplace Rights Week in Michigan.
Workplace Rights Week aims to promote the integral role Michigan’s labor force plays in advancing the state’s economy and educating the state’s workforce about their rights to have a safe workplace, to be paid for their work, to organize and advocate for better protections, while also leveraging their knowledge to create equity in Michigan’s growing economy.
“Michigan has built some of the most significant industries and technologies that have transformed our world, with a proud history of hard work and resilience,” said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. "As we navigate and grow our economy, we must support our workforce and uphold their rights—it’s why I was proud to sign the Restoring Worker’s Right legislation. By continuing to stand in solidarity and promote workplace protections, we can create a thriving and prosperous economy that benefits all Michiganders, providing good-paying jobs and a better future for our families.”
During Workplace Rights Week, LEO will highlight important facts and resources with the goal of ensuring Michigan continues to have strong communities, a thriving workforce and pathways to prosperity.
