Ann Arbor City Council unanimously passes an ordinance allowing retail and manufacturing workers to sit on the job.

The Ann Arbor City Council has unanimously passed an ordinance granting workers in sectors like retail and manufacturing the right to sit while on the job, provided it does not hinder their duties. This is the first such law in Michigan, similar to those in other states. The city's Human Rights Commission will enforce the ordinance, which aims to improve worker health and potentially boost business productivity.
