The Indiana House made a final vote of approval Tuesday on legislation directed at the Indiana State Teachers Association. Now, with a stroke of the governor’s pen, it would become a law critics say is an attempt to weaken the state’s largest teacher union.
The legislation mandates that school districts have to get permission from teachers each year before deducting union dues from their paycheck. During the process, teachers must be reminded in large, bold font of their right not to join the union.
