The Senate Education Committee rammed through three bills despite overwhelming opposition testimony and they’re now on the fast track in the Michigan Senate. If these bills pass, one or more public school employees is found to have engage in an illegal work stoppage to effect change in working conditions, the following would happen: The union would be decertified and not able to represent employees Individual teachers engaging in illegal strikes would lose their teaching certificates School districts would be fined 5 percent of their state aid payments if the administration failed to fine them We need you to send an email your Senator ASAP to urge them to oppose the bills. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-your-senator-not-to-punish-teachers-for-speaking-out
