LANSING, MI — In response to today’s No Kings protests throughout the nation, the Michigan AFL-CIO released the following statement:
“Our fundamental right to protest is more important than ever — as is our willingness to exercise it,” said Ron BIEBER, president of the Michigan AFL-CIO. “In D.C., Trump is abusing our government to enrich himself and his billionaire buddies at the expense of working people. In Lansing, Matt Hall is defying our Constitution and harming Michigan’s public servants by holding several pro-worker bills hostage. We must remind those in power: there are no kings in America. Michigan’s labor movement will be in the streets today in the fight for a stronger democracy and a more perfect union.”
The Michigan AFL-CIO, Michigan’s largest labor organization, is a federation representing forty different labor organizations, eighteen different central labor councils, and eight constituency groups representing over 1 million union members and their families.
