There was some debate Friday morning — echoing the Proposition 1 battle from 2012 — but Idaho school administrators want to keep a series of controversial labor laws on the books. Specifically, they want to retain the authority to cut staff salaries during a financial crisis, eliminate ongoing “evergreen clauses” in labor agreements and use factors other than seniority when cutting staff. These were components of Proposition 1, the far-reaching collective bargaining overhaul rejected by Idaho voters in November 2012. The following winter, legislators passed a series of laws reinstating pieces of Proposition 1. But several of these laws will expire if the 2015 Legislature does not make them permanent/Kevin Richert, IdahoED NEWS. More here.
