Supreme Court Victory – $550 Million for Public School Employees

January 19, 2018 by Erin Hopper Donahue

White Schneider is happy and honored to report the major victory for Michigan school employees on the seven-year long litigation to return more than a half billion dollars illegally taken from school employees in the long-running “3%” case.  By Order dated December 20, 2017, the Michigan Supreme Court unanimously upheld lower court rulings that found the withholding to be illegal on a variety of constitutional grounds. 

Logistics will need to be determined for how school employees will receive the refund of over $550 million that has been held in escrow since 2010-2012.  White Schneider remains a part of that process.  Anyone who worked in Michigan schools in the affected time period from 2010 through 2012, and had the 3 percent taken from their paychecks, will get money returned.
