Michigan Supreme Court asked to take child-care union dispute


A conservative legal foundation is asking the Michigan Supreme Court to get involved in a lawsuit that challenges union dues paid by 40,000 at-home child-care providers.
The Mackinac Center Legal Foundation says the dues paid to two unions are illegal, but the state appeals court has twice rejected a lawsuit.

The Midland-based foundation says the child-care workers are independent business owners, not public employees.
The United Auto Workers and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees get slightly more than 1 percent of the millions in state subsidies paid to providers. The unions say they were properly elected to represent them.
A separate lawsuit is pending in federal court in Grand Rapids.
