Teacher Wins Settlement after Union Bosses Violate Her Constitutional Rights
Case shows why Act 10 is needed to protect state workers
Madison, WI (February 21, 2013) – A former Greenwood, Wisconsin teacher has won a settlement from a local teacher union and the school district for refusing to honor her rights under Act 10, and for failing to follow constitutional disclosure requirements.
In September, Amy Anaya filed two complaints with the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission with free legal assistance from National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys.
Anaya was a School District of Greenwood teacher for a year, beginning in August 2011, after Act 10 was enacted. In September 2011, Greenwood Education Association (GEA) union officials approached Anaya and illegally told her that she "had to" sign the union's membership form. Anaya informed them that she had no desire to become a member of the union.

Give all the jobs to Illegal
Give all the jobs to Illegal immigrants. Right to work states gives 1/3 of jobs to anyone but an Americans...
Then why do all the unions
Then why do all the unions support illegal immigrants?
Without unions and illegal
Without unions and illegal immigrants no democrats would ever get elected, and democrats are experts at collecting union cash. It is a vicious circle of greed and power feeding off of the weak and innocent who want to work without being threatened. The school teacher should be commended for standing up for her right to choose and for fighting oppression in their attempted abuse of their authority by them using the loss of her job to threaten her. Union neanderthals never did have a civilized way of making their case.
