BY GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
IN RE SUPPORT LEGISLATION PREVENTING VOLUNTARY QUITTERS FROM
COLLECTING UNEMPLOYMENT
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the State of Michigan Unemployment Compensation System offers
benefits for those who voluntarily quit employment; and
WHEREAS, there have been over one-half million claims against the Unemployment
Compensation System in the past 3 1/2 years; and
WHEREAS, a large proportion of these claims were for those who voluntarily quit; and
WHEREAS, this practice creates hardship on Michigan businesses and therefore may
have caused a loss of industry and jobs in this state; and
WHEREAS, such a practice seems to deny traditional concepts of equity and
acceptable business practices.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
urges the State Legislature and the Governor to adopt legislation to prevent those who
voluntarily quit employment without justificotion from collecting unemployment compensation
benefits.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Governor,
the County's legislative representatives in Lansing and to the County's Legislative Agent.
The General Government Committee, by Robert H. Gorsline, Chairman, moves the
