Detroit Robert Bobb wants to shake it up, close a 41 to 45 school and convert them to charter schools.

The Detroit Teachers Union is one of the if not "the" largest employer in the city.

IMHO I expect at some point, SEIU, MEA, Jesse and Rev Al, to all get involved as well as those envolved in Wisconsin, trying to stop this... Just MHO...

He's been pretty ruthless. He discovered a whole bunch of teachers that don't even exist when he stopped mailing paychecks out and made teachers come and personally pick them up from his office. I believe it was nearly 200 non people getting paid big bucks.
