USU Students, Stand Up for Our Teachers – Tell Governor Cox to Veto Bill 267!
Hey USU students!
I’m reaching out to you because Bill 267 has already passed the House and the Senate, and now it’s up to Governor Cox to veto it and stop it from becoming law. This bill is a direct threat to the future of education in our state, and we need your help to stop it.
If passed, Bill 267 would strip away the protections that unions provide to educators and other public workers. This isn’t just an attack on unions—it’s an attack on the teachers and public employees who are essential to our communities and our education system.
Here’s how Bill 267 impacts education and our future:
- Bill 267 would undermine collective bargaining rights, which could lead to reduced pay and benefits for teachers, making it harder for them to provide the quality education we rely on.
- We’ve seen the consequences of similar bills in other states—like Wisconsin, where teacher pay was slashed, benefits were cut, and pensions were lost. These impacts never fully recovered.
- Education is a cornerstone of Utah’s future success, and weakening the ability of our teachers to advocate for themselves weakens the entire system. Teachers are critical to the quality of education here at Utah State University and across the state. When they suffer, so do we.
As USU students, we have a responsibility to stand with our teachers and support the future of education in our state. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to ensure that our educators are protected and supported. Passing this bill would undermine the hard work and dedication that Utah’s teachers put in every day to make our state one of the best places to get an education.
I urge you to take action now. Please visit this link and reach out to Governor Cox to veto Bill 267. The public overwhelmingly opposes this bill, and we cannot let it move forward. Let’s stand together with our teachers, firefighters, and public workers who help make Utah a thriving place to live and learn.
Let’s unite, make our voices heard, and tell Governor Cox to veto Bill 267. Protect our teachers, protect our future!
