Tennessee House Education Committee Puts Teachers Ahead of Politics

Tennessee lawmakers are committed to realizing Governor Bill Lee’s vision of a freer workplace for teachers. Today’s action by the House Education Administration Committee marks an important step forward by helping to safeguard Tennessee teachers’ paychecks.

HB 329 will end the practice of automatically deducting union dues from teachers’ paychecks, restoring teachers’ decision-making power over how their hard-earned paychecks are spent. This legislation will also get taxpayers out of the business of collecting unions’ dues for them.

With organizations like Workers for Opportunity firmly behind them, state leaders are standing up for Tennessee teachers and taxpayers – putting education ahead of union politics.
