House Votes To Give Unemployment To Part-Timers

Posted: May 6, 2009 11:38 AM EDT


The Democrat-led Michigan House has approved legislation that would extend unemployment benefits for people in job training programs and to part-time workers with assistance from the federal stimulus package.

The measures were approved Wednesday by 68-39 votes mostly along party lines in the House. But the legislation may face a tough time getting through the Republican-led Senate, because some parts of it eventually would raise costs for businesses contributing to unemployment insurance programs.

The bills would allow Michigan to get more than $138 million in federal stimulus cash.

Unemployment benefits for those in job training programs would be extended by up to 26 weeks. People seeking to work part-time would become eligible for benefits.

Students? Doesn't your employer pay in? That's not possible. Why do students need more breaks? Let them wait tables like all students do.

political correctness is a doctrine.... fostered by a delusional, illogical minority...... and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media; which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

You mean part timers whose employers don't offer benefits and students who have work which doesn't give benefits?

This should make employers think twice before firing... right? If not, it's a complete waste of dough IMHO.

U dont get the situation here. There are not many waiting table jobs and if there are, the employers want experienced table waiters. Its not that easy. Finding a job for 10/hr. is tough, everybody wants experience. Employers know they can be really picky now.

According to the local news (wlns), they reported that it would supplement part-timers and that if you enroll in a re-training program for work, your benefits will be extended another 26 weeks...
