Statement from UAW President Dennis Williams on State Senate Resolution over Michigan Civil Service Rule Proposed Change
“Today’s State Senate action makes crystal clear that partisan politics is behind the Michigan Civil Service Commission proposed changes to workplace rules by giving the Governor more power to dictate working conditions, and filling vital positions with unskilled political cronies instead of well-trained civil servants who serve Michigan Taxpayers.”
“The Michigan Civil Service Commission through our Constitution is supposed to be a non-partisan entity that takes politics out of the state’s workforce. Yet today, through their vote, the State Senate chose to ignore our Constitution and the will of our people to keep politics out of the most basic functions of our government workforce.”
