ICEBLOG SALUTES WISCONSIN RESISTANCE

First many teachers in Florida walked out of schools to defend tenure and won. Now teachers in Wisconsin have walked off their jobs in a huge sickout and they have been joined by students and other public employees to descend upon the capitol to defend public employee collective bargaining rights. They appear to have won a temporary reprieve by their actions as Republicans can't get a quorum to vote on their horrible piece of anti-union legislation.

We are under assault nationally and must fight back to survive.

Sickout will hopefully occur in NYC soon enough. People must say enough already soon.

Just wanted to let everyone to know that it took the UFT five years to realize the principal at my school is a bully The teachers are united and ready to begin the necessary steps to take action. Will the UFT continue to back these actions? I have my doubts..
