Protecting Small-Business Owners From Stealth Unionization
Another lawmaker has put his support behind legislation that would end the stealth unionization of small-business owners.
Livingston County's Sen. Valde Garcia, R-Marion Township, is co-sponsoring the package of bills, according to radio station WHMI. Patrick Wright, director of the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation, testified in support of the legislation earlier this week.
The MCLF filed suit against the Michigan Department of Human Services over the illegal unionization of home-based day care owners last fall. One of the foundation's clients, Paulette Silverson, lives in Livingston County.
