Montana’s 2015 legislature is approaching the halfway mark. It has been a tough session. MEA-MFT leaders, staff, and members are front and center at the legislature every day
.
On the proactive front, we are working to:
• Pass the state pay plan, HB 13.
• Support Governor Bullock’s early childhood education program (“Early Edge”).
• Maintain adequate funding for state agencies and public schools.
• Help pass Medicaid Expansion to cover 70,000 low-income Montanans.
We are also playing a lot of defense:
• Fighting privatization of our public schools, public services, and pensions.
• Fighting elimination of Montana’s Common Core Standards and attacks on Board of Public Education.
• Fighting attacks on the right of public employees to organize and bargain collectively.
