COA: State workers’ mandatory health-care charge unconstitutional The Michigan Lawyer
A statute requiring public employees to contribute three percent of their pay to finance state retiree health-care benefits is unconstitutional, the Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled.
In AFSCME Council 25, et al. v. State Employees Retirement System, et al., the court upheld a lower court ruling that struck down MCL 38.35.
The state and unions representing state workers negotiated a three percent pay raise, which the state Civil Service Commission (CSC) approved.
So they get the 3% raise but don't have to pay for ANY of their retirement health care costs.
Jusk great.....
