Labor unions throw support behind anti-DTE proposal going to Ann Arbor voters

The Huron Valley Area Labor Federation, representing 40 unions and 22,000 members, has endorsed the Ann Arbor for Public Power ballot initiative, which seeks to create a municipal electric utility. This move comes as the federation argues DTE's for-profit model has failed working families, advocating for greater affordability and accountability through public power. The proposal, which qualified for the November ballot, faces opposition from a DTE-backed group that has challenged its validity and funding.
