This bill would have made it unlawful for teachers to participate in a strike. Expands the statutory list of strike-prohibited employees to include teachers employed by a common school district or a union high school district. Imposes a civil penalty of $500 per day against an individual or labor organization that participates in an unlawful teacher strike.
Strikable conditions and pay scales should never interfere with student education.
Though this has the slimmest of chances of passing, it’s past due this became a reality. Students and parents should not be penalized because of the greedy actions of union members.
