Should Michigan cities raise wages for gig workers?
NYC delivery workers organized and won a higher minimum wage.
So why can’t Detroit, Ann Arbor, or any Michigan city do the same for 700,000+ gig workers?
Because Michigan’s state legislature passed corporate-backed preemption laws that stripped cities of their Home Rule powers.
Gig work is exploding. Wages aren’t.
That means our cities are under Corporate Rule, not Home Rule—and it’s hurting workers.Sponsored by
