The Michigan Supreme Court has overturned a legislative rollback of the state's minimum wage and paid sick leave laws, originally established following a 2018 petition drive. In a 4-3 decision, the court ruled that Republican lawmakers violated the state constitution by weakening these laws they previously passed. The reinstated laws will implement a new minimum wage and sick leave requirements, affecting many low-wage workers in the state. The ruling underlines the importance of voter participation in the legislative process.
