Michigan's leading business group is urging the state appeals court to rule out jobless benefits for people who are fired for using medical marijuana. / Associated Press
LANSING, MICH. — Michigan’s leading business group is urging the state appeals court to rule out jobless benefits for people who are fired for using medical marijuana.
The appeals court has cases involving people who sought benefits after being dismissed. Judges in Kent and Ingham counties have ruled in favor of the workers.
Rich Studley of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce says businesses are in a “no-win situation.” He says employers would have to ignore marijuana use or else pay higher unemployment taxes if a fired worker collects unemployment aid.
The appeals court hasn’t set a date for arguments. The cases involve a forklift driver in Grand Rapids and a hospital employee in Charlotte. They say they shouldn’t be denied benefits after losing their jobs for using marijuana in a legal way.
Is this presser considered spam? If so miso sorry but wanted the farmers to be in the know.........
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Steven Sharpe 517-795-8077; ssharpe2009@gmail.com Industrial Hemp Documentary Sparks Action on Farming Legalization and Policy Reform “Bringing It Home” to screen in Detroit and Jackson, Michigan March 4, 2014 — Detroit, MI — The recent Farm Bill provision for hemp research and pilot programs has sparked national media awareness and conversation about hemp. But what’s preventing the U.S. from fully joining 31 other industrialized nations that allow its farmers to grow this beneficial crop? MI Hemp and Cannabis Counsel will host two screenings of the award-winning documentary film “Bringing It Home” on Friday, March 28, 2014 7 p.m. at Ponyride in Detroit (www.ponyride.org ) and on Thursday, April 10, 2014 3:30 p.m. at the Michigan Theatre in Jackson. (www.michigantheatre.org) In 2013 twenty-one states introduced industrial hemp legislation, but current federal policy still places a barrier on production. More industrial hemp fiber, seed and oil are exported to the U.S. than to any other country and American consumers are purchasing over $500 million in hemp products annually. Bringing It Home explores the question of why a crop with so many widespread benefits cannot be farmed in the United States by exploring its history, industries and current farming legalization efforts. Filmmakers Linda Booker and Blaire Johnson were inspired by environmentally-conscious home designer Anthony Brenner’s story to find the healthiest building material available to build a safe indoor environment for his young daughter Bailey, who has a sensitivity to synthetic chemicals. Brenner received national media attention when he and Hemp Technologies completed “America’s First Hemp House” for the former mayor of Asheville, North Carolina. Booker and Johnson tell the story of hemp through animation, archival images and footage they filmed with hemp business leaders and entrepreneurs like Brenner in England, Spain, Washington D.C., California and North Carolina. The screening of “Bringing It Home” in your location is part of a national grassroots screening tour across the country, “We made “Bringing It Home” with the intention of reaching a broad spectrum of viewers – from policy makers and civic groups, to farmers and health advocates, from consumers to the construction industry –with the same strategic message about how hemp offers solutions and hope,” says Director Linda Booker. The documentary aims to magnify dialogue and legislative action about hemp in order to facilitate America’s transition to a more informed, sustainable, and healthy future. MI Hemp and Cannabis Counsel are hosting the film as part of its mission to improve Michigan’s economy.
