MDOT Workers’ Deaths Spark Safety Push | Lansing News

from Lansing News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Two Michigan DOT workers died in a tragic work zone crash this summer, sparking urgent calls from the state employees union for sweeping safety reforms. The MSEA demands immediate action, including a joint committee to review near-misses, upgraded training, better protective gear, and increased police presence during lane closures. They also push for more arrow boards and updated safety protocols to shield crews from traffic. While MDOT says its investigation is ongoing and it remains committed to worker safety, the union insists swift, concrete changes are needed to prevent future tragedies.
