LANSING, Mich. — In another blow to public employee collective-bargaining rights, the Michigan House and Senate have passed legislation allowing non-elected emergency financial managers in financially struggling cities and school districts to terminate union contracts for teachers and other public employees.
The bill is now before Republican Gov. Mitch Snyder for signature.
UTU International HQ employee Dan Lough braves the rain in Strongville, Ohio, March 15, where he participated with some 2,000 other Ohioans protesting the state’s attack on collective bargaining rights for public employees.
