flag Over 75% of Michigan home health workers voted to unionize, creating a new council to negotiate pay, benefits, and training.

flag Thousands of Michigan home health care workers have voted to unionize, with over 75% in favor, following a 2024 law reclassifying them as public employees. flag The new Home Help Caregiver Council will serve as the employer for negotiations, with SEIU Healthcare Michigan representing about 32,000 workers. flag Advocates say the union provides a long-overdue voice for better pay, benefits, and training, citing past gains that ended in 2012. flag Critics challenge the law’s constitutionality, arguing it bypasses civil service rules. flag The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity has five business days to review objections before certifying the vote. flag If upheld, contract talks will focus on pay, training, and benefits.
