Bill Would Allow Automatic Pay Increases For Public Safety Employees [Michigan Capitol Confidential]
A new bill giving public safety employees a carve out from a key labor reform is in the House Commerce Committee.
Public Act 54 of 2011 banned seniority-based automatic pay raises for individual government employees when a union contract has expired and no replacement has been negotiated. Before enactment of the law, union members could get automatic pay increases while new contracts were being negotiated, which served as a disincentive to reaching agreements.
But House Bill 5097, which has 23 co-sponsors, would exempt law enforcement and fire department employees from the law.
