Union Receives 'Outstanding Organizing' Award For Shutting Down School To Protest Right-to-Work Law

It's NOT about the children, it's never been about the children.
On Dec. 11, the Taylor School District closed because so many of its teachers skipped school to go to Lansing to protest right-to-work legislation. As a result, about 7,500 students in Taylor were forced to miss classes that day.
For organizing that "sick out" protest, the American Federation of Teachers-Michigan gave Taylor teachers' union president Linda Moore an award for "outstanding organizing."

Public Act 112 in Michigan makes public school employees strikes and/or lockouts illegal.

In a Jan. 28 announcement posted on Facebook, AFT Michigan boasted that so many union members took Dec. 11 off "that Taylor schools shut down."
