    “Chapter 18 Taskforce” Hey WV teachers & service personnel, you know what this means, right? “Taking a scalpel….” to YOUR workplace protections and rights on the job. Chapter 18 is where those are housed in WV code. Looks like hiring/firing is first on his list.

    There are 1,000 pages of law controlling how West Virginia teachers are allowed to teach in the classroom! I’ve been appointed the Chairman of a new task force to eliminate some of these unnecessary and overburdensome regulations. Let teachers teach! And let students learn!

    According to our recent study, the pressures of teaching during the pandemic weighed so heavily on educators that one in four teachers said they were likely to leave their jobs by the end of the 2020-21 school year.

    HB 2009 was specifically designed to attack public employees' rights on the job through dues deduction. I'm glad the judge saw this & ruled in favor of the workers on this.

    Correct decision to enjoin. The Republican legislature passed this terrible, unconstitutional bill solely as a political attack on teacher’s unions and to make it harder to logistically fund labor organizations, but not to protect any worker.
