Michigan Supreme Court Reinstates Minimum Wage and Sick Leave Laws

The court's 4-3 decision reverses Republican-led rollbacks, benefiting low-wage workers.

The laws were initially passed in 2018 through a petition with over 280,000 signatures.
Republican lawmakers had approved the laws but weakened them after the 2018 election.
The new wage schedule, adjusted for inflation, will take effect next February.
The ruling gradually eliminates a lower minimum wage for tipped workers.
Businesses will now be required to provide paid sick leave to employees.
