Why shouldn’t school employees have to compromise when the rest of Michigan is suffering?
Public school employees have compromised, saving schools and the state millions. They’ve accepted different health plans, increased out-of-pocket costs, and wage freezes (and even cuts) to keep good coverage. In the past three years alone, those changes saved the state almost $1 billion. It’s important that all Michigan residents have access to decent health care – for public school employees, staying healthy means they can report for work every day, whether it’s driving the bus, cooking and serving lunch, or teaching in the classroom.
