SEIU Leadership Reacts to ‘Reform’ Proposals

"Like all Michigan families, public employees have shared in the sacrifice and pain of Michigan’s economic crisis. Public employees are on the frontlines, supporting reforms and innovations that save taxpayer dollars. We strongly believe that reforms must be comprehensive, and that means CEOs, banks, big corporations and Lansing politicians must also share in the sacrifice. No one group got Michigan into this budget mess. Everyone must share in the sacrifice to get us out of this crisis and move our state forward."  - Phillip Thompson, SEIU Local 517M Executive Vice President
