Public employee unions are alarmed, after the State Supreme Court ruled that retired public employees can have their health care benefits reduced. The justices, in a 4 to 2 ruling, said that union contracts for public employee unions are not a promise for lifetime health coverage. This includes police and fire retirees. The case involved health care coverage for 16-hundred retired Macomb County workers.
The 4 Republican court justices voted for it. The 2 democrats on the court were against it.
