Local Government Employee Union Contracts for Every Michigan County and 28 Largest Municipalities

Local Government Employee Union Contracts for Every Michigan County and 28 Largest Municipalities ... [Mackinac Center]
Collective bargaining agreements for all 83 Michigan counties and the state’s 28 largest municipalities (cities and townships) are now compiled and available online, Mackinac Center Director of Labor Policy Paul Kersey announced today.
The database contains contracts for nearly every collective bargaining unit in these locales.

“Union contracts are one of the biggest drivers of the cost of government in Michigan,” said Kersey.
“But the public is rarely — if ever — told what all the terms are, or what the contracts are like for nearby communities.
This new database will allow residents to see the compensation and work rules for their local government employees and compare those with neighboring or similar communities.
It will be a great tool for taxpayers who want to hold their local elected officials accountable.”
