    “Should this bill become law in Michigan, an employer could not require an employee to access or respond to work-related matters outside of their assigned hours. This includes emails, text messages or social media messages regarding employment duties or scheduling future work shifts.

    Violations could be reported to the state's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, with fines to the company and/or overtime pay to the employee among the possible results.”

    In every corner and layer, of every aspect of society, there are monied, powerful people manipulating us ordinary people. They ensure we stay trapped, weak and powerless in the face of blatant greed and cruelty.
