Yesterday, we talked about HCR 2040, a proposal supported by Arizona Republicans this legislative session that would limit teachers from organizing.
It would ban school districts from using any public resources to support labor organizations, for instance, printing union information with school equipment or holding union meetings on school property.
Here’s what you said about it:
💬 “As a retired teacher from another state, I find Arizonans’ attitude towards public education and teachers in general appalling. Approving the voucher system and allowing it to function unchecked so that there seems to be little oversight as to how our tax dollars are being spent is unforgivable. Now to introduce a bill that will basically remove protections for the teachers who teach in the few remaining public schools is unbelievable.” — Susan Z.
💬 “Absolutely right on target Republicans!! All union activity should be fully separate from the job and tax payer funding! If union dues can’t cover operating costs then dues need to be raised! No tax dollars should ever be available to unions in any form ever! If unions are necessary and valuable to employees then they are worth paying for by the employees themselves!” —Greg T.
💬 “I have one question for Arizonans. Do you SUPPORT your public schools AND our children? We are nearly last in the nation in education and HCR 2040’s covert ‘around the governor’s desk’ bill will hurt education even more. Take a stand Arizonans and call your legislators to say NO to HCR 2040.” — Maureen M.
💬 “Union busting is the first step to eliminating the middle class.” — Jim D.
