Several bills have been led in the 107th Tennessee General Assembly that attack all educators and the Tennessee Education Association. To assist in the effort to defeat these punitive bills, it is essential that our legislators receive a Vote NO message from every educator across the state. These bills have nothing to do with education reform in Tennessee. HB 130/SB 113 sponsored by Rep. Debra Maggart (R-Hendersonville) and Sen. Jack Johnson (R-College Grove). Simply put, this bill would completely repeal the Tennessee Professional Negotiations Act. Your message to legislators might include: Student learning conditions are, in fact, teachers working conditions. This bill would turn back the clock and is an attempt to silence the voice of teachers regarding all aspects of employment, including working conditions, salaries and benets.
TEA leaders want to impress on members that these bills are very real threats and could pass in the near future. Our strength in fighting these attacks lies solely in massive opposition from our members across the state. This is the time to speak out if you wait it may be too late!
