Florida Senate Bill 246, championed by the Freedom Foundation and Commissioner @StasiKamoutsas, established real paycheck protection for teachers. If a union wants to remain certified, it must prove at least 60 percent of the bargaining unit actually supports it. Know your rights. Change is possible. Florida proved it.
Commentary: CTA leaders not only dislike being excluded from a pot of new tax money; they worry that having it on the November ballot would undermine support for the teachers’ union ballot measure, which would make permanent a surtax on incomes of the state’s wealthiest residents,

“Consequently, employees with significant policy-making responsibilities can stay in their jobs for years even if they perform poorly, engage in misconduct, or are unwilling to advance Presidential policy across administrations, making their agencies less capable of delivering for the American people,” the White House wrote in a fact sheet describing those now in the schedule as having “at-will positions buff.ly/4n5jBaV
The idea that people stay put for community and culture? Remote work just broke that assumption. When you can work from anywhere, you don't choose places that punish success.

The @WSJ editorial board explains why Albany wants to silence the Freedom Foundation: nearly 7,500 New York public workers have used our materials to leave their unions—more than 1,400 this year alone.
Their "Union Protection Act" doesn't protect workers. It threatens $1,000 fines for the crime of telling public employees they have the right to opt out. As the Journal puts it, unions are "desperate to shut down the Freedom Foundation."

A shocking antisemitic purge at one of America’s largest teachers’ unions.
Last Wednesday night, the United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) House of Representatives voted to expel Amy Leserman — an Orthodox Jew, 25-year UTLA member, LA public school teacher, and chair of the Educators Caucus for Israel, @kdeutschjourno explains on his Substack.
UTLA denounced Amy by name, branded Zionism “racism,” and accused her of “targeting union activists”.
Her offense? Sitting silently on a Zoom call she had every right to attend.🧵

"Supporters of this bill assure businesses and workers that it is about worker empowerment and efficiency," @RepWalberg "I may be misremembering the definition of empowerment, but I can guarantee it does not mean taking away a worker's right to vote on his or her own contract and giving that power to a Washington bureaucrat with no stake in the outcome." @Reason
