Michigan’s Democratic U.S. Congressional delegation, in a joint letter to Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder on Monday, urged him to veto HB 4408, legislation that would cut state unemployment insurance in Michigan from 26 weeks to 20 weeks and turn back the clock on 50 years of needed protections for the unemployed. The legislation passed the State House and Senate Wednesday and would leave Michigan as the only state in the country that provides its workers fewer than 26 weeks of UI benefits. It could hardly come at a worse time, with Michigan’s unemployment still above 10 percent. The letter was signed by the entire Democratic delegation, including U.S. Sens. Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow and U.S. Reps. Hansen Clarke, John Conyers, John Dingell, Dale Kildee, Sander Levin and Gary Peters.
