COLUMBUS, Ind. – Teachers Unions from Columbus, Jennings County, Edinburgh, Seymour, North Lawrence, and Flat Rock-Hawcreek wrote a letter to local lawmakers urging them to take action this year to restore educator bargaining rights for workload, working conditions, and hours, while also allowing other topics to be bargained.
Educators feel that restoring these rights would improve the quality of education for students, promote teacher retention, ensure money is going to the classroom, and improve educator pay.
The teachers’ unions believe that this action would be cost-effective for the state, and strengthen Indiana schools and classrooms.
