Why 35,000 Michigan caregivers are fighting for two pro-union bills
Briefly

Phyllis Pride's story reflects the struggles of caregivers who, despite providing essential services, face stagnant wages and lack of benefits, highlighting systemic issues in the industry.
The potential passage of Senate Bills 790 and 791 aims to improve working conditions and pay for 35,000 Home Help workers, addressing their needs for fair wages and union representation.
The introduction of the Home Help Caregiver Council in Senate Bill 790 would establish standards and unify practices statewide, potentially transforming the landscape of homecare work in Michigan.
The recent political shift in Michigan signifies a growing momentum in favor of labor rights, as lawmakers and voters increasingly reject anti-union measures, seeking to support workers like Pride.
