Labor Wars: Michigan Is the New Wisconsin

Akiba Solomon, Colorlines.com: 'Michigan is shaping up to be the next big battleground in the Republican-led war on unions and public workers' rights. In March, the state s Republican governor Rick Snyder signed Emergency Financial Manager Law Public Act 4, a law that grants state-appointed officials broad power to run cash-strapped communities and school districts. While the state has had Emergency Financial Managers (EFM's) for decades, critics - including Jesse Jackson, Rep. John Conyers and members of the Michigan Legislative Black Caucus - say PA-4 has enhanced their authority in unprecedented ways.'
