State workers in Michigan will get a raise and an extra paid holiday.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Employees who work for the state government will get 5% raises next October under new labor contracts.

The Michigan Civil Service Commission approved the three-year collective bargaining agreements this week.

Nonunionized workers will also receive the 5% pay increase.

In October 2023, unionized employees will see a 2% raise.

The state and unions will negotiate 2024 wages later.

The panel also OK’d making Juneteenth a paid holiday and allowing eight hours of paid leave for workers to attend a funeral of a parent, spouse, sibling or child.
