The foundation explains:

"The Mackinac Center Legal Foundation is filing a lawsuit on behalf of Miriam Chanski and several other plaintiffs against the Michigan Education Association over the union's misreading of Michigan's right-to-work law. The union is enforcing an outdated policy referred to as the "August Window," which limits members' ability to exercise their first amendment rights to one month out of the year.  .. "

"On March 26, 2013 WB-RC officials offered a $10,000 buyout for any qualifying teacher who left the school district that year, an incentive superintendent Dan Cwayna said the district had used in the past to encourage needed staff reductions.

While its not clear when Erickson's employment was terminated, the union's action suggests he was still on the payroll when the buyout was offered and accepted it.

The school district declined to pay him the money, prompting the union's action."

"...so people should feel comfortable with that."

AYFKM?  No, you slippery crony capitalist big government Progressive.  You work for me Nerd-boy, and I trust your smarmy, perpetual stealth-mode Ann Arborness as far as I can throw my house over your boondoggle DRIC bridge.

And, dig the chops on the retained mouthpiece.

"I pay my travel out of pocket every week, I pay my parking, I don't expense mileage. It's cost me tens of thousands of dollars, personally," said Kevyn Orr.

Hey, stupid, for starters Kevyn, you already got caught in a lie.  Not a smart Bankruptcy shyster.  Kevyn accepted the job (with extravagant perks), and please do tell us what other forms of employment covers the tab for any out of state residency?  It didn't fly at Ford Motor when Channel 7's Steve Wilson exposed Mark Fields weekly trips home to Florida, to avoid Michigan's Income Tax.  The Governerd likes to play government is a business, well, the Public Sector don't dig that sh!t - bad business image.  Alan Mulally ate crow ...and, the li'l "Rock and Roll" Executive's corporate Gulfstream went buh-bye.  Tho, Fields did keep the Mullet.

Mike Gillman (my father) on the city commission in Traverse City makes his objections tonight to the technical workers union contract that will be enacted only DAYS before Michigan's Right To Work legislation goes into effect. The bargaining unit and the city had been in discussion for nearly a year, but as the time drew closer, the union gave in to demands by the city.  Likely done so as to keep the shop a "closed shop until the contract ends in three years.

Good for him!
