Representative Justin Simmons Supports Legislation that Bans Teacher Strikes in Pennsylvania

Please note the union-busting provision:

Recognized both statewide and nationally by the Wall Street Journal, the STRIKE-FREE Education Act (House Bill 1369) would immediately outlaw teacher strikes and lockouts at the statutory level and contains several clearly defined and enforceable financial penalties, including: $5,000 individual, per incident for inciting a strike; the loss of two days of pay for each striking teacher, each day of an illegal strike; and the striking teachers union forfeiting its dues check-off privilege for one year.
