Michigan Teachers Union Publishes Names of Those Who Left
How remarkably petty
A Michigan Education Association union in the Upper Peninsula has listed the names of the school employees who left the union as part of the state's right-to-work law, leaving some to question whether the MEA is trying to create a hostile workplace environment.
The MEA 17-B/C union newsletter listed the name of 16 employees from four school districts in the U.P. who decided against paying dues or fees to the union and it also listed the services they no longer will get now that they're not part of the union.
Kathi Moreau, a counselor at Stephenson Area Public Schools, left the union and said she was shocked to see her name in the newsletter.
She said she opted out because of the cost and because she said she was never backed by her union — and never asked to be backed by the union.

Well, what is there to say: we all have our options and these people chose theirs. The only thing I am worried about is kids as always. They should not be the ones to experience these changes, right? Teachers have to b replaced with new professionals. I think that we lack good teachers in our schools who are really passionate and who can teach our children proper writing ?check this site MyEssayService.com - and reading skills, as this is something the entire nation currently lacks.
Not very good news at all. All we know how it will be reflected on children. But in the same time we need protection and expert help. It will not be easy, but we must survive anyway! I use speedypaper.com review when I am in difficult situations .
All that concerns the modeling and planning in an education, I trust this service https://paidpaper.net/write-my-essay/. Cuz, I often use a similar site if I need some help to economics. Every student wants to take a break from learning. So I'm not an exception)
It is always very unfortunate when professionals of this level are excluded from similar structures. Personally it seems to me that this is a mistaken practice and change. because these people could share their experiences with the younger generation of teachers. Although I know a lot of examples, when teachers start working in services like Academic Consultants because it gives them the opportunity to earn not bad amount of money.
