I like the add but I think we need to let people know how big business is treating teachers and attacking unions by passing these unconstitutional laws. Now that Michigan has passed this anti tenure law, administrators don’t have to have just cause to fire us. How can we advocate for the needs of children when we can be fired for any reason? We also don’t have to be called back by seniority order when laid off, so administration can hire more friends and family.
