A Michigan Senate bill currently under consideration aims to require employers to share employees' name, home address, cell phone number, work address location, and personal email address with labor representatives every 90 days.
Sen. John Cherry, D-Flint, sponsored Senate Bill 169.
“The intent here is to make sure that individuals who are legally required to represent employees have the information on who they are actually required to represent and the ability to contact them and fulfill their requirements of representation,” Cherry said during Thursday testimony in front of the Senate Labor Committee.
Sen. Thomas Albert, R-Lowell, said the bill is an “unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” Albert said there were no additional safeguards to protect personal information, and added that a bill substitute that wasn’t adopted yet also aimed to divulge employee wage to unions too.
Yousef Rabhi of the Michigan Nurses Association backs the bill. The former Democratic lawmaker said the bill would protect workers and patients in the event of an assault, a safety violation, or something else.
“In the event of an accident, it is paramount that nurses have the ability to make sure that our contract is being followed, for everyone’s safety” Rabhi said.
“Being able to reach out to nurses to make sure that their rights are being honored is a key component of making sure that public sector workplaces are safe and democratic,” he added.
Mary Drabik, communications director of the Michigan Freedom Fund, opposes SB 169:
"SB169 is the latest in a long line of Democrat overreach, putting union bosses over the interests of hardworking Michiganders,” Drabik told The Center Square in an email. “Workers who opt out of joining their union should not have their privacy violated by union bosses, and for Democrats to propose this at a time when a union boss is accused of being a serial sexual predator of female colleagues is just beyond the pale."
Drabik was referring to Jonathan Byrd, who resigned from his role as director of external affairs for the Michigan Laborers’ District Council on March 23 and as president of the South Central Michigan Area Labor Council after he was accused of sexual harrassment.
The bill is a reintroduction of Senate Bill 899 from the 2021-2022 Legislative Session.
Now that Democrats hold a political trifecta with the House, Senate, and the governor, they are trying to revive Michigan as the epicenter for union activity through repealing right-to-work and reinstating the prevailing wage.
So are all you Michigan Republicans who refused to vote for Tudor Dixon happy you stayed home and not voted?
I have kept a UPS store address for the better part of 30 years. It has served me well when I had to provide an address to people who don’t need to know where I live.
Great, give everyone’s personal info to the union goons. The rats stole the Mi SC so there is nothing to stop this
We knows where youse all live.
That crap might fly in the flatlands…southern lower peninsula to outstaters…but you get north of Clare, there are no friendly ports for unions. My small town was ripped apart by the Bear Archery strike in the 70s. They were making $7.50/hour with bennies in the early 70s, and some greedy boneheads wanted a union. Fred Bear sold to a Florida outfit, and after a prolonged struggle, all the jobs went to Florida. We became the welfare enclave of the North.
The North remembers…
I established a fake physical address 20 years ago. It’s an empty lot with a mailbox. Cost me $2K at the time and about $50 in taxes each year.
I generally send things to a POBox, but if they have to have a physical address, that’s the one.
One of the smartest things I’ve ever done to help insulate myself.
Yoos Guys WILL join da Union, or else. We know where you live.
Ha!😃
I like the way you think!
The Michigan Democrats have rigged the last three "elections" [2018, 2020 and 2022] - with the silent consent of the professional Michigan Republican politicians.
The Dems got hold of the 2016 ballots from the Red Michigan counties in the summer of 2018 via FOIA [they wanted the Blue county ballots, but those counties were too large to provide them the data until January 2019 - too late for the "election" in November 2018].
The result of this was a Blue Wave in the Red counties - but no Blue Wave in the Michigan Blue counties.
Once the Michigan Mean Girls were installed in the coup d'etat, they placed Michigan out of reach in 2020 and 2022.
As an example for you, Tudor Dixon got 100,000 more votes than Bill Schuette got in 2018.
Meanwhile, in a state with falling population [per the 2020 Census, and loss of a US House seat], Governor Shinyface got 75,000 more ballots than she did in 2018.
"Dirty Josey" Benson, Michigan's Secretary of Soros, was hard at work...
If your union needs you more than you need them you probably shouldn’t be in a union.
The personal home address and cell phone numbers of the union leadership should likewise be provided to all of the people they supposedly represent. Attach criminal penalties for union leaders providing false or misleading information.
This is an AFL/CIO terrorism enablement bill.
Nothing less.
Witchmer/dems saturated the airwaves with "abortion abortion abortion" long before Dixon was the nominee, and still had 10X the campaign dollars than Dixon had for the general.
Dem ads on YouTube/elsewhere probably 10x Republican ads for 2018, 2020, 2022.
...so yes, Michigan now has a (Soros) coven of witches running it(into the ground and straight to hell).
