A Mackinac Center Legal Foundation client who could become a plaintiff in a federal lawsuit against the Michigan Education Association is featured in today’s Oakland Press.
Amy Breza, a paraeducator in Clarkston Community Schools, is being forced to continue paying union dues after her union and the school board signed a contract extension before March 28 in order to skirt around Michigan’s new right-to-work law.
