<P>A bill will be introduced Friday in the Senate State Affairs Committee that
would “prohibit public sector collective bargaining, to provide for public
employee rights, and to prohibit public employee strikes.”</P>
<P>With the bill’s introduction, Idaho teachers are no longer the only
scapegoats in our Statehouse. If such legislation passes, firefighters, police
officers, and educators will all lose the ability to negotiate for fair
treatment. Less than a decade after 9/11, you have to wonder: Whatever
happened to honoring our heroes?</P>
<P>Idaho is riding – and in some ways leading – a national wave of legislation
targeting people who serve the public. Similar bills against public employees
have been introduced in New Jersey, Ohio, and Wisconsin, where an estimated
25,000 people surrounded the state Capitol in Madison to protest today.</P>
<P>Idaho’s latest anti-public employee legislation, now identified as RS20248,
will be carried by Sen. Shirley McKague
(R-Meridian).</P><BR><BR><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV><BR>
