New
Mine Safety Regulations
April 30th, 2008
The Mine Safety
and Health Administration (MSHA) recently published a final rule
to increase protections for miners who work in underground coal
mines with sealed-off abandoned areas. The regulation appeared on
the April 18, 2008 edition of the Federal Register.
The final rule,
which replaces the Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) that went
into effect last May, increases the pounds per square inch (psi)
pressure that seals must be able to withstand in the event of an
explosion and adds other important safeguards to protect miners. |

Michigan
Minimum Wage Will Increase to $7.40
April 30th, 2008
The
economy in Michigan isn't at its best, and
the jobless rate is quite high. Several companies
have moved plants to neighboring states where the
minimum wage is lower, such as Indiana with a minimum
of $5.85 per hour.
On July 24,
2008, the Indiana minimum will go up to $6.55, and will still be
less than Michigan’s minimum on that date of $7.40.
The minimum
wage in Michigan has increased from $5.15 per hour in 2005 to $6.95
in 2006, to $7.15 in 2007. On July 1, 2008, another 25 cents per
hour will be added the Michigan minimum wage, bringing it to $7.40. |

Indiana
Minimum Wage
April 29th, 2008
Indiana is one
of several states with a minimum wage tied to the federal minimum
wage. This means that when the federal minimum wage increases, so
does the Indiana state minimum wage. The next raise will occur on
July 24, 2008, when both the federal and Indiana state minimum will
go up 70 cents from $5.85 to $6.55 per hour.
The Wage and
Hour Division of the Indiana Department of Labor is responsible
for enforcing the minimum wage law.
The federal
minimum wage is enforced by the U. S. Department of Labor’s
Wage and Hour Division. |
