Op-ed: But the program would create competition with Connecticut’s “public schools,” the euphemism for schools controlled by teacher unions. That is, the schools subject to the state law requiring binding arbitration for teacher union contracts, the state law prohibiting municipalities from reducing school budgets, and the state law prohibiting disclosure of teacher evaluations.

Big Apple delivery drivers are demanding a sitdown with supposed Mayor Zogran Mamdani over his plans to ban Amazon from hiring them as third-party contractors — but they say City Hall has snubbed them, even as experts warned the bill could leave thousands unemployed. “We have reached out to the mayor’s office.

North Carolina’s labor policy has long been rooted in choice. In 1947, it became one of the first states to enact a “right to work” law, which allowed employees to opt out of mandatory union dues. And a decade later, it forbade public entities from entering collective-bargaining agreements with labor unions.
