Dear WLEA members,
I am writing to ask your help.
Of immediate concern is the SB 636 which would prohibit public school employers from deducting employee union dues. The state house passed its version yesterday. We need members to contact their senators TODAY and tell them that this bill does nothing to improve the quality of education, save school districts' money, create jobs or put more $ in members' pockets.
You can contact your State Senator using this link:

Please use your home emails and private phones.
Thank you!

About Me
- Tfitzjake
- I wrote this introduction 6 years ago, and it is even more important today than ever. The voices of educational employees need to be heard above the roar of public school attacks in this country. We are on the front line; we are highly educated and trained professionals. Why are we being ignored? I am an educator. I was the president of the Walled Lake Education Association for over 6 years, and before that, the treasurer for 8 years. I have been on the bargaining team for 15 years. I am now the MEA UniServ Director for 7K and parts of IJ. I want our voice to be heard! Today's educational climate requires that we all stay informed regarding the issues affecting our chosen profession!
