Idaho’s largest Teachers’ Union formally breaks ties with Gov. Little over ‘union-busting’ legislation

During the Idaho Education Association’s annual business meeting this past weekend, members voted overwhelmingly to issue a vote of no confidence in Governor Little. The union said the move was in response to "union-busting legislation attacking the right of educators to organize and advocate in their workplaces."

“Our members have spoken clearly,” said IEA President Layne McInelly. “They are angry and frustrated with the governor. They feel his choice to sign House Bill 516, when there were so many reasons to veto it, is a betrayal of his claims to be a supporter of Idaho’s educators and public schools.”
