'Job actions' against cuts called for in Michigan

Teachers' union says statewide strike possible



Calling it an attack on the people of Michigan, the union that represents teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and the state's other public school employees has called on its locals to agree to take job actions -- including a statewide teachers' strike -- to put pressure on lawmakers in Lansing against legislation it considers to be anti-union.

In an e-mail to her members, Iris K. Salters, president of the Michigan Education Association, said various bills would result in "emergency managers, step freezes, mandatory privatization, mandatory health insurance payments, and budget cuts," which she said "are outright attacks on our students, our members, our communities, and our future."
