Protest at Southfield High School

Members of the Michigan Education Association and American Federation of Teachers are protesting in #Southfield and across the state today in response to Gov. Rick Snyder's announcement last month that he would appeal a June ruling by the Michigan Court of Appeals. The Michigan Court of Appeals found a 2010 law that required school employees to contribute 3 percent of their pay to retiree health benefits was unconstitutional. School employees are now fighting to get their $550 million back, according to MEA officials. Check candgnews.com and an upcoming issue for more details.
