On October 7, 2021, Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced that she's signed an executive directive instructing the Michigan Department of Technology Management and Budget (DTMB) to require contractors and subcontractors to pay prevailing wages for construction projects in Michigan. The prevailing wage policy will only apply to projects bid out by the DTMB.
Michigan's Prevailing Wage Act was repealed by the Michigan Legislature on June 6, 2018.
Watch this space for updates because the Governor's executive action will most certainly be challenged in the courts by non-union contractors and their associations.
