Michigan GOP attacking teacher unions with right to freeload law
Apparently, Michigan Republicans are either ticked off at the recall of anti-public school Rep. Paul Scott, R-Grand Blanc, by members of the Michigan Education Association (MEA), or this is just an overall part of the anti-teacher push by Republicans, but Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville, R-Monroe, announced on the political TV show “Off the Record” that he is going after the teacher’s union with a so-called “right to work” bill that will only attack school employees.The MEA was successful in getting enough signatures to place Scott’s recall on the November ballot because of the anti-education bills he pushed as chair of the House Education Committee. Additionally, this summer a teabagger group financed by corporate cash called “Michigan Freedom to Work” launched a campaign to make Michigan a right to work for less state. But it appears Senate Republicans are going just after teacher unions, for now, despite a promise to introduce the anti-worker bills on Labor Day.
