Collective bargaining for teachers was enacted in 1978 by Gov. Ray Blanton. (his story is pretty wild). The TEA (no relation) has made serious inroads to bargaining since then. It is going away. Yes, TN is RTW.
Thanks. Any quick blurb you can share about Blanton? We’re selling and moving to eastern TN as soon as we can, house going on the market next month. So I’m interested in all things TN. We can’t wait to get out of here (CA). I feel like a gulag dweller in the state I grew up in. It feels like a third world hellhole now. Oh. It IS a thrid world hell hole now.
So sad. It used to be magnificent.
